Numerous refusals to donate related to CRT and "woke" curriculum at USMA.
Replied to each with the following:
Sir,

WP-ORG and the AOG/Academy are separate entities. WP-ORG provides online services to graduates and their families. We have no influence on the decisions of the Academy. We do, however, provide lists for graduates to communicate, in order to discuss with each other their concerns on any topic.

As long as you are a member of any WP-ORG list, you will receive our fund drive messages. You are, of course, free to ignore them. Perhaps a good list would be either your class list, or the WP-FORUM, which is a list comprised of many members from different classes. https://www.west-point.org/wp/wp-forum/

Regardless, you are welcome to continue using our services, as WP-ORG's fund drive is strictly voluntary.

This may assist with you understanding who we are: https://www.west-point.org/who-we-are/

If you ever need anything from us (WP-ORG) in the way of online services, we're here to assist in any way we can.

Respectfully,

Hi, Cameron! I received your email below from my wife, Clare who is a USMA ’68 widow. I am a member of the USMA Class of 1971 so we have an affiliation with both classes. Do you send these appeals to ’71? I never see them from that source. I think you are missing an opportunity there. I ran our 45th Reunion, and you guys did the reunion website for us. Terrific job!! At any rate Clare and I both make donations. I’ll use the link you sent to ’68, but would like to see it come through ’71.

Bill,

I received your query through Cameron.

The class of ‘71 has a moderator, and that moderator is on the moderator listserv, where we announce our fund drives approximately one week before the fund drive starts. We ask that the moderators let their members know who we are, and that a fund drive is beginning, but those requests are strictly voluntary. Your ‘71 moderator can be reached by writing to usma1971-owner@west-point.org

As an organization, we don’t write to the class lists, but rather, send our requests directly to every person who is a member of a list that WP-ORG hosts. If you are receiving a message about your fund drive on the ‘68 list, it is likely that it was sent by a member of that list, who received our fund drive warning order last week. You are always welcome to select your correct class affiliation on our donation page.

Thank you for your support of WP-ORG. It is through that support that we can continue to work on behalf of the greater West Point community. We are honored to have hosted your class reunion site. Megan Klein, CC’d on this message, is the mastermind behind those reunion sites,

Thank you again for your input and for your support.

Respectfully,

Dian Welle WP-ORG, INC. redacted# (cell)

Mark,

Thank you for that support. It is through these generous and voluntary donations, that we can continue to support the greater West Point community. Regardless of said donation, we are always here to assist you in any manner we're able. You have my numbers, below, those numbers come straight to me. I often work late, so time is of little concern.

Again, thank you.

> “Done!” About two weeks ago. The Ericson-Barkovic family shared their donation between the Class of ‘68 and the Class of '71. Bill also encouraged Cameron to solicit ‘71 as he does '68. Let those ‘71 classmates know the important part WP-Org plays in their Reunion website.

Clare,

Thank you so much for your support. We could not exist without the generosity of those who use our services.

> Please unsubscribe me from this email list. Our DS graduated in 2021. Thanks.

Faye

I have complied with your request for removal.

Removing you from our "corps" list removes you from all WP-ORG lists. This has removed you from the following list(s): Parent-forum

The service was provided to you regardless of your participation in our bi-annual fund drives. Should you want to re-subscribe to that list, you may write to your moderator at: Parent-forum-owner@west-point.org

If you need any further assistance from me, feel free to ask.

Rick,

Our sincere condolences on the passing of your father. I have removed him from the West Point Society's email list, which also prevents any of our fund drive messages from being sent as well.
