Someone mentioned getting called by the Sierra Club. A few months ago a
Sierra Club canvasser (ie, door-to-door soliciting person) stopped by my
place one evening. I had a guest over so was kinda irked by the
interruption. The conversation went like this:
SC: Hi, I'm with the Sierra Club, and I'd like to know if I could have a
few minutes of your time..
Me: Oh! Sorry, no, I won't support the Sierra Club due to their position
on legalizing ferrets in California. Bye!
SC: *bemused blink*
Me: *shuts door*
Guest: *laughs*
I didn't take time to explain it to him - at least, I don't remember if I
said much more than the above - but I quite obviously made an impression on
him. My guest, who is quite ferret-friendly and whose kitten I was 'sitting
for a weekend, thought it was quite entertaining.
They've probably marked my house now and won't come back. :) I don't know
about people who call, but canvassers are frequently students and volunteers
who may not be a member of the club but are part of a similar interest
group. Ie, the student body of the school of Natural Resources at U-M often
did canvassing stuff for SC, etc.
