Card-carrying members

Some nice young lady was prowling the block yesterday evening, looking to sign people up for the ACLU. Mary gave ten bucks so she could say she was a "card-carrying member." I chided her for not giving 20.

This morning, a nice young man called to thank us for our generous contribution. OK. I'm sure they were both volunteers or interns, so the ACLU wasn't wasting much money, but is that the best the ACLU can do with its volunteer time? A thank you call for a ten dollar contribution?
