Don't Make Me Change My Mind

Dear Sweet Election Phone Call People:

I am already voting for your candidate.

It's nice that you care about me. When I lived in California, I never got a phone call begging me to vote one way or the other. I guess living in a battleground state makes me count, all of a sudden.

But if you wake up my napping baby one more time, I'm voting for the other guy.

Thank you,

Kelly @ Love Well

    I bet if you told them you'd vote for their guy if they ran to the store for you and picked up some milk they would totally do it. Just a thought....

    Tell them you'll only vote for him if they'll come rock your baby back to sleep.

    I live in California, and they do the calling here, too...and it's NEVER helpful, NEVER sways me, so why, oh why do they do it?
    It's espscially annoying when it's a machine. So insulting. I just hang right up.

    Ugh...so annoying. I've gotten a couple in the last week and I only anticipate that the frequency of those calls will increase. :(

    The ringer on our phone is off most of the time for that very reason. Except no election people call me, just telemarketers and such.

    I know its annoying (really so!) but i appreciate that there are people who care enough about the outcome of the election to volunteer their time to call, and make sure you have the answers you need and that you'll vote. In a nice way, I think it says a lot about our country!

    BAAHAHAHAHA!

    We use cell phones exclusively, our home line is just a fax line, so NOBODY calls it, unless it's a fax coming in... until recently. I've been noticing it ring a ton. Probably 5 or 6 times a day, with no fax coming in...

    Now I know why!

    Hey Kelly!

    I got one this year in southern CA. I think they are desperate as I have never gotten one either.

    And like you, they already had my vote. Oh well. : )

    Could we also put the ky-bosh on the folks who go door to door and ask for contributions and signatures for their petitions but never have any literature to peruse so that you know what you are actually signing or donating to? And could we also request that they not RING DOORBELLS...EVER... as they also wake up sleeping babies? Thanks. :)
