I did suggest that, as a non profit advocacy group, they should consider providing information that is valuable to the every day life and future of families dealing with diabetes. My caustic comments, as you put it, were better received by the ADA. They admitted they have fallen short in some important areas and also admitted that they have been less than information friendly in the past. They agreed that the information I have attempted to share in the past was presented in an educational tone, not in the form of self marketing that I was accused of and verbally abused for. In their response to me they invited me to "If you have suggestions please send them to me and we will most certainly entertain the changes". Do you want to defend AARP and AOPA now? Tom,

Where in the ADA mission is marketing life insurance? Even if it were, no charity can ethically promote less than all the companies and agents. When it does it has registration and compliance issues which is why no credible charitable organization gets involved in what you propose. Your caustic comments are misplaced, ol' hoss. If you wanted to help any charity all you must do is send a note with each policy statment/invoice suggesting the owner consider naming charity as a second or last beneficiary, period.
