I became a member of a couple of organizations (best left un-named to avoid possible flames) many years ago because I believed in their causes and ideals. I was proud to be a member, BUT it seems that they want your money more than your ideals. I know it takes money to run an organization, but they want you to send money for an "emergency fund" practically every month! Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of seeing these mailings.
On the other hand, I also contribute yearly to a specific charity which does great work for children in desperate need. They don't bombard me with "emergency mailings" but are very thankful for the yearly contributions.
Some of these "causes" should take lessons from the charities.
