The reason they keep calling is 1) they need money, 2) their available pool of potential donors is limited, should they start calling southern baptists or members of the PAL? 3) lists get sold and resold to the various organizations and more often than not, the same firm does the calling and is using the same list over and over and 4) with robo dialing and technology, they can dial hundreds and hundreds of numbers an hour with only a few people manning the phones, so even a small response rate can result in a positive campaign and lastly, often the dead air at the end of the phone is not a solicitation at all, but rather a computer logging the time(s) of day you pick up the phone so that when they really do want to call you, they can be reasonably sure you are home and will pick up.
