It is to give you a guilt trip not using that stamp. I'm sure the
method has been tested and proven to work.

There is only one charity I give to with my name. It is a donation
near the end of the year and I do it on line. They don't bug me the
rest of the year and I appreciate that.

During the course of the year, I give cash to a couple that I know
actually use the money for real and not fund raising.
