ANNOYED! ANNOYED! and completely FED UP!

[Buxom Wench]

As we all know, its election time.

How the hell do you get the political calls to STOP?!?!?!

In the past 3 days, I have gotten 7 calls!

All recorded so that you can't tell someone to take you off their list.

I'm calling the board of elections tomorrow and filing a complaint.

I have not been well lately and these calls always happen when I'm finally able to get a little rest.

Anyone else got a gripe with this intrusion?

Not the calls, but the f***ing flyers they put in my mailbox, door or on my doorstep! I'm with ya , FED UP!

hehehehe..... the flyers I'm saving to bring to the voting booth, complete with my own additional ideas, like, "tell me what YOU will do and NOT what the other guy has done!"

*tiptoes back out*

*sigh* you too? I just wish the calls contained useful knowledge about the platform of the candidate. Not what his/her opponent has done wrong.

If y'all figure out how to make 'em stop, coudl you pass the info along to me?

I know who I'm voting for and no damn annoying phone call is going to shange my mind.

Have more chocolate, darlin' the calls will cease on November 7.

Good GRACIOUS, woman! No WONDER you can't get any rest...the din must be quite deafening...

*wanders off to hunt down the 7 remaining ringers*

you mean you don't love it when you get a recorded message from First Lady Laura Bush . . . . and gosh here I thought she was personally calling me

The sad thing is - it is totally and completly legal - I know not what you want to hear. Only thing I can suggest is turning the ringer off the phone - or get an unlisted number.

Kinda like it is legal to call and ask me for money for widows and orphins fund, or to sent kids to movies over the summer because their family can't afford to do it.
Well heck I can't afford to take myself to the movies regularly and I don't have kids - so why would I want to pay for some kid I don't know to be annoying on one of the few occassions when I can afford to go?

Sorry back to the wonderful Bux's topic. I agree that the calls are annoying - but they have found that it gets more people out to vote. And, I have to say that it is a good thing that more people are getting out and voting. Of course I think all companies should allow an extra paid/ arrive to work late for those with the first half of the alphabet and leave early on the last half to go and vote (or however they want to organize it)

.......or get an unlisted number.

I *HAVE* an unlisted number and I PAY for that privilege!

And I didn't get Laura Bush....uh uh, not this Wench from Western New York. Nope, I got Jim Kelly (former QB for the Buffalo Bills) calling for Tom Reynolds. About 10 minutes later, it was Jack Davis.

I know I scared my Duchess when I just about threw the phone across the room from being so aggravated.

It's too late for now, but I think the national do not call list should be able to take care of this. Either that or tell the local leader of your political party that you do not want to be called. There has to be a way to legally stop them from calling.
