I received a recorded call inviting me to an event for a new Lakewood organization. I'm curious how organizations get these phone numbers...Do established orgs. sell their lists? It's seems likely that they are calling a targeted group of people. How much info is included on these lists?
I don't know, but these recorded phone calls have reached the point of driving me insane. They are relentless, and come at the worst of times. If an organization wants money, can't they have the decency of having a live person call me and ask?

I would like to propose a solution. It is only the core, and more thought would have to be done to implement it successfully.

A petition should be circulated (not just online - many Lakewood residents don't have access) that reads roughly as follows:

"Robocalls have become an increasingly bothersome phenomenon. [expound on the annoyingness and insensitivity here.] As much as we try to give tzedaka to every worthy organization, circumstances have driven us declare that we will not donate money to any organization that engages in such tactics. It may bother us to withhold our money, but it serves as our only method of ending this madness once and for all. (We will once again consider donating after a year [or other time frame] has passed.) Besides for donating, we will refrain from attending any event advertised via recorded message to our phones, and will also refrain from voting for any candidate [whom we can verify (we don't want sneaky candidates callings us with recorded messages to vote for their opponents)] who engages in these robocalls as well. Please understand us. Calls with recorded messages at all times of the day rob us of our menuchas hanefesh. If you have a message important enough for us to hear, kindly have a live person pick up the phone and give us a call. Thank you,

Signed [by enough people to convince organizations to stop robocalling us]"

I also used to get bothered by it but now I just don’t answer my landline and BH they don’t have my cell phone number!
But could it be that people actually give money when they get these calls? Why else would they keep on doing it?

Of course they work to remind people of events they would have gone to anyhow or inform them of ones they may not have known about. There are many people to whom emailing reminders is not an option.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I think so and I think I remember hearing there was a number to call to get your number off the list, but I’m not sure

As the one who brought up this topic, I want to make clear that I think that the overwhelming majority or these orgs. are doing great work. My objection is only to their aggressive fundraising.

BTW, i'm not against signs, i'm against not collecting them timely and leaving them to be a nuisance and hazard for cars and pedestrians (and weapons for the neighborhood bully)
Obviously the TWP agreed so they made an ordinance but what good is that if they dont enforce it

We should be grateful to Hashem that we have a house, that we have a meal, and that He hasn't chosen us to be the ones who provide schar to other Jews by giving them an opportunity to give tzeddakah.

May all of us be the ones who give and don't have to take.

Is it impossible  to be grateful that we are on the giving end and genuinely appreciate the great work these organization do, yet object to some of their fundraising tactics?
