Nonprofit organizations are not governed by the Do Not Call Registry.

oh well, I will take what I can get

This guy is such a fake fony and fraud. Although he happens to be pretty smart and knows a lot of stuff, ever notice how he non-stop bashes KCL and many other establishments by name, but will never mention the big caterer that has many issues, because he happens to be his very good and close friend

this guy unfortunatly knowledgable, however his knowledge is limited to where they will let him see. When an establishment or organization disregards his requests he goes on the attack and hopes he is right.
He thinks he smarter then previous gedolim who also knew the issues and paskened NOT like him.
