TIPS will obligate a good number of people to make the call.

Show me ANY reference to such an "obligation".

Does cash for tips count?

Not that I've heard of it yet but that's usually how it works.

Ah ... I gotcha. You think that TIPS will network among the Common Folk and simply encourage certain individuals to be a part of the team?

You don't think they're recruiting from targeted segment of society with an eye toward expecting to chit chat as they mood strikes them?

If that's the case ... what's the point of the program in the first place. Why wouldn't some "War on Drugs" style commercials and plenty of shiny Soviet-style bills pasted in all state buildings, banks and other Civil-minded entities do the trick?

You don't think there's any actually "signing up" to be a part of the Program?

Now I really don't understand. Help me out here.
