Get out and vote today!

[bvibert]

Actually... He may've been referring to me...

I only called registered people in my party who've already left a number on a web site via donation etc... they were all cool.. I wouldn't call someone cold...

Nope, I wasn't referring to you.

I knew - thats why I put the smily..

handshakes go a long way. I voted for Helen Voutsinas for district court today. Why? Because she stood outside one morning at Merrick LIRR station at 6 AM shaking hands with everyone who went up those stairs.

see......I don't think because you're registered to a particular party means, "sure call me at 8PM interupting my dinner with my wife after a 12 hour day, just to make sure I voted" and that's exactly why I was called.

where's the respect for personal privacy gone???

I just feel that unless you specifically request contact from ANY organization by means of email, snail mail, phone call, door to door........then you should be left alone. Anything short of that is borderline harrassment

Yeah but if you give campaign $ and leave your number your fair game... And probably involved enough to deal with a call on election night.

If you gave campaign $, wouldn't you also likely have made sure you voted without the reminder call...?

 

[snoseek]

Voted via colorado absentee ballot.

What I really want to know is if prop 19 will pass in California!

I want an opt out box. I'll donate where and when I choose to. I do not want solicitation of any kind. It is without question infringing on my personal privacy.

I should be able to choose my level of involvement, not be coerced into participating at times I choose not to.

8PM at night? leave me alone sir

It depends on just how you gave that campaign $$. If you wrote a direct check to a candidate, then presumably you'd be voting (and for that candidate) without a reminder call for sure.

If you gave $$ to a Political Action Committee(PAC) or some other body that gives $$ to candidates, then technically you've given $$ to that candidate (in some cases with PAC's maybe even both candiadtes in a race - sounds weird I know, but it happens with business related PAC's especially in close races more than you'd think) then maybe the reminder call is needed.

Heck this year, especially if you're a union member, your dues have helped fund lots of candidates, even if you weren't aware of it.

Glad you # didn't end up on the website list.

I'm just speaking for the calls I made.. Which were current supporters and all local calls. As I said - they were all cool.

We weren't calling for money - we were just making sure everyone went out and voted. And if they knew where to go vote..

It's over now...

 

[drjeff]

It's over now...

I figure now that the Washington folks will take a couple o weeks off, and then BAM! Let the 2012 games begin :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

Makes sense. I was calling for a candidate using a donar list. Not actually my representative but someone I kinda know. I haven't really gotten any calls - I give directly to candidates I endorse. My girl is in a union she's gotten a bunch of calls

I finally was able to plug my phone back in today. I was getting 4 or 5 calls per hour and finally gave up last Friday and unplugged it. When I tried to make business calls yesterday, I hit network congestion that usually only happens during American Idol voting. WTF! There were so many computer dialed calls that it killed the phone network.

I also had a half-dozen knocks on my door from campaign workers. I have a bronze salute cannon used for yacht racing next to my front door. I felt like discharging it every time some tool knocked on my door. 10 gauge blanks would discourage the campaign workers.

What a greedy selfish state. Failed by just over 500,000 votes. So many lies were spread around by the current medical dispensaries, illegal growers and dealers, and law enforcement, I guess I really shouldn't be surprised.

So much for my planning a Tahoe trip this season.:sad:

 

[gmcunni]

apparently Bridgeport CT is the new Florida. reportedly they only had 20,000 ballots in the city for 60,000 registered voters and they ran out of ballots due to good turnout.

 

[Puck it]

One word>>>> Boo Yeah!!!!. Sorry two words
