A veterans' organization that uses telemarketing to raise funds for its programs has no constitutional claim against a public official who says he does not “support” organizations that use telemarking and urges donors to check their fundraising expenses before giving, even where the official singles out the charity as a negative example, the First Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed. ( Middleborough Veterans’ Outreach Center v. Provencher, 1st Cir., No. 12-1347, 1/11/13 .) Paul Provencher, the Veterans’ Agent for the Town of Middleborough, MA, wrote letters to several local newspapers, advising area residents to exercise caution before donating to veterans’ charities that use telemarketing or direct solicitation and naming the Middleborough Veterans’ Outreach Center (“MVOC”) and another charity as two who did. The letter urged donors to give to charities that “will use all of your donation to help out the causes that are important to you.”
