dettu,

I understand completely.  My company does the same thing (most likely for the very same organization). Oh yes, we can all say no (and many of us do).  The point dettu is making is that you shouldn't have to even say no.  They should give you the opportunity to contribute (one e-mail or one letter).  Anyone who wants to contribute can.  Anyone who doesn't won't.  In my opinion the way these companies handle this, it is harrassment, plain and simple.  One year, the CEO's secretary was instructed to do follow-up calls to anyone who hadn't contributed!  She felt awkward and awful about it, but I very politely told her that I didn't appreciate the phone call and that I considered it harrassment.  She said she understood, and they never tried that one again!  I don't understand why these companies do this.  Do they get kickbacks or something from this organization?  I mean what's the big deal, anyway?
