If you get the State Police one, or State Troopers, ask them to send the information!!! If they can't send the information, then they are not legitimate. They usually ask you, how much can I count on you to donate. I tell them, Nothing, until I read up on your organization. They usually hang up then, or say something like the postage is too expensive. What they really want is to you pledge a certain amount on your credit card!!!!!! Too many crooks out there.
