Whether you normally donate money or not, that is your $1 to make a decision about--not theirs. I applaud your effort to look up the charity first before making your decision. Many would just pay it without thinking.<br/><br/>I don't discourage charitable donations, but in these times $1 could mean a lot to someone trying to make it. So to me trying to force someone to donate their money is pretty low. Some people just don't have the money and some donate time rather than money. That would seriously annoy me!

I’ve never heard of this – maybe because I’m Canadian and we don’t have this sort of thing here…or we do and I just don’t know about it.

But I wouldn’t feel bad about opting out – especially if you added a $1 to your donation account anyway.

It’s unfair to force charitable giving onto someone considering that would make me feel less charitable!

I know, I know, it's ONLY twelve dollars a year, but still, it's my money, I earned it, and I will give donations to whom I choose, not to a place that someone else has decided. So, I don't think you're being picky. :-) Oh, that would bug me.
