Yeah, statewide appeal is just a legal pyramid scam. They are calling trying to get you to pledge money to send them in support of the Texas State Troopers Association. I can assure you that at the most only 20% of your donation will go to help the State Troopers Association if that. Keyword Association: Not the state troopers in general. This is a group of about a few hundred troopers. Just ask them, they're required to tell you that 80 percent goes into the pockets of the managers. So yeah, its a charity alright-for them. Then i guess they throw the TSTA a small piece in order to keep this bull going. These people do give felons and other unskilled people the opportunity to work, however they treat most of there employees like crap and try to keep them earning them as much money possible while paying the bare minimum. They dont want to pay for postage to just send you info without the harassing calls, so they choose to call you instead. If you want them to take you off their call list, you're suppose to specifically request you be taken off their call list. However, many people have requested that and still receive several calls a day. Most of the errors are probably because they use equipment from the '80s. The employees are underpaid while the management somehow makes six-figure salaries. And if you do want to help them, they dont accept donations under $15...so much for beggars cant be choosers.
