Ok, I'm nearly over the edge. I hate robo calls!
I live in Iowa, where Presidential candidates regularly stop, at least near caucus time, and we also have a municipal election tomorrow and my friggin' phone has been ringing constantly mostly with robo calls. And yesterday I actually called one presidential candidate's hq and asked them to stop. And yet, I got another one from his campaign a short time ago. So I called the office back and told them in no uncertain terms that if I got so much as one more, I would no longer consider this particular candidate. And I'm serious about this. At least the local candidates' robo crap stops after tonight.
I understand that any candidate who is trying to reach a large amount of people has to do something, but since we are bombarded with emails and snail mails from campaigns all the time, one would think robo calling may be unnecessary. A lot of people are turned off by it and either refuse to vote or change candidates because of the practice. So, if any candidates out there should happen to be reading this, STOP IT! All you are doing is irritating people.

2. Hahaha...we are one of the lucky ones...
Our family only uses cell phones. No home phone lines. Haven't used a land line for about three years. We had one until last year, but it was just for internet. We disconnected when we went to high speed. This primary has been soooooo peaceful.

3. I really wish you could add those to the Do Not Call list
Send me a mailer and I'll contact you if interested.

The last election was insane with politicians calling me all day and night until 9 pm. That doesn't make me like your candidate, it only pisses me off.
