Please STOP right there. I, and the vast majority of other people in
this country, do NOT want you calling us on our telephones and
bothering us.

Alternatively, how about you publishing your home phone number and
letting each and every person you bother call you right back. At all
hours.

Oh, and while you're at it, make sure to give out the home and
cellular numbers of the people who run your "non profit". I'm sure lots
and lots of the people you canvass would love to return the favour.
