The Caller I.D. Say's: LA FOP LODGE 1 The number is 213-289-5524
I called back and got a Machine saying it is Critical that I support the Police and Help Law Enforcement
I was concerned about this because I am on the DNC Registry and it appears that they can circumvent the DNC List because I assume they say it is a "Non-Profit" or like a Police Agency
They use this to try and "Scare" you...if you do not "Pledge" your support they will "Pay you a visit" like your in trouble if you don't support.
They will put you on a list saying you do not support the "Fallen Heroes" and their Family's
It makes me want to give money so I am on the "Good Guy's" List or get some type of sticker for my car?
