Besides, I was referring to the last time citizens were united, and this happened...

I received a telephone call from CitizensUnited.org requesting a donation to help get a movie entitled "Rendezvous with Reagan" produced. Does anyone know anything about this organization?
Reading their website it appears their movie is out so don't know the how or why they wanted a donation. Has anyone here had any dealings with them?
We got to talking and I surprised him with some of the info I already knew about our current administration.
Not 5 minutes after I received this call, I received another call from The Young Republicans wanting a donation. Told them not this month but maybe next month. I had already donated to them about 3 weeks ago.
I'm not sure how I got on anyone's list to call though. I don't mind the Young Repubicans calling.
Not since 1980.
He said he had already been to their website, but wondered if anyone else had more info.
Reading is your friend.
Hate to tell you Ed, but so is reading...
...your friend.
Look at the comments. She did look at the internet sight.
Yeah Ed...you really blew it ;^)
“Google is your friend.”
Not really...I suggest that you
ixquick or scroogle
If you want privacy..
Search is our friend. Google is only google's friend. I won't use them.
After parousing their web page and reading a little about the officers and staff of the .org, I wouldn’t be concerned, Sally, at least about these folks;)
Sounds like you got on a ‘sucker list’ and your name is being passed around.
Anti-Obama DVD Targets Key States
Friday, October 31, 2008 3:42 PM
Citizens United, a nonprofit advocacy organization that promotes traditional American values, is blanketing key swing states with hundreds of thousands of copies of a controversial, no-holds-barred film that debunks the quasi-messianic candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama. (snip)

Not me.
“We got to talking and I surprised him with some of the info I already knew about our current administration.”
THAT might be a tip off (or not).
I used to weed out solicitations by asking them to send literature (only had one reply).
[The ‘solicitor’ for the ‘Firefighters Relief Fund’ was going to have someone at my front door within 15 minutes if I didn’t want to send a check through the mail.
C’mon over.
My neighbor was a Volunteer Firefighter, it was fun to watch! (scam)]
As to the website, try using a WHOIS or whatever is available now to find out who owns the site (and even that can be disguised).
Of course, if they call back, ask how they obtained your number?
Good luck!
As a general rule one should not buy or donate ANYTHING from a phone solicitation that you did not generate.
The Fed's have been VERY lax in enforcement of them and new ones seem to show up constantly.
Someone put you on a call list. The State of Oregon was selling lists for awhile and a simlpe act of car registration opened the floodgate for Telemarketers and people seeking donations!
This is David Bossie’s group. They are legit.
They are the people who made Hillary: the Movie. Dick Morris does a lot of anti-RAT stuff with them.
Bossie has been around for a while. I don’t think you will regret giving them a donation.
Google is your nosy friend.
Use ixquick instead and keep your privacy (a bit more).
As Netizen so kindly put it...
Reading is your friend. The website was already in the body of my vanity, I just didn’t make it a link as I thought most FReeper were intelligent enough to know how to copy/paste.
Evidently not.
My posts were intended as humor. Sorry you couldn’t see it.
A lot of people think Bossie is a pretty unsavory character. I know I had a low opinion of him when he was working for Dan Burton...http://www.apj.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1055&Itemid=2
