Fraternal Order of Police

I ALWAYS make an annual donation to the Fraternal Order of Police. Haven't failed in years...

So when I got the telemarketing solicitation, I cut him off from his spiel about what FOP does and told him just to renew my pledge, same as every other year. Told them to send the package in the mail and I would send check by return mail.

Then......

I find out that the National FOP ENDORSED TRUMP!

Instead of sending back a check, they got all their materials back and I included this:

Gentlemen:

I was solicited for a pledge to your organization via telephone on or about September 19 of this year. Having been a supporter of our local Police Department for years, I agreed to a $25 pledge as I have done in many years past. However, in the intervening time I was informed that the National Organization of the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Donald Trump for President on September 16, 2016.

I consider it inappropriate for a benevolent association to make any political endorsement and I am particularly offended over this endorsement.

For that reason I am rescinding my pledge to your organization. Please remove my name from your list of future solicitations.

Sincerely,
