If I hadn’t already decided for whom I was voting in our Gubernatorial primary run-off next week, the robo-call would have done it for me. I understand the perceived need for the robocalls – my disagreement today is with the caller-id. My phone said I had a call from Red Lodge, MT.
Now, why on earth would a GA governor candidate be sending robo-calls from MONTANA? Is there no company in GA that could do those calls? The recession or whatever it’s called these days has hit us just as hard as it’s hit anyone else. Stimulating the economy begins at home, Mr/Ms Candidate.
If the call was, in fact, NOT from Montana, but only appearing to be so, then I have a different beef, regarding caller-id spoofing, etc.
In either case, this candidate did not have my vote to begin with, and definitely does not have my vote now. Since my candidate didn’t make it out of the primary, I’m going with the lesser of two weevils, and hoping against hope that I don’t receive a robo-call from that candidate, too.
I wonder why they don’t understand that robo-calls are as welcome as telemarketers?
Once anyone who calls me/comes to my door is done with their opening I simply tell them, “I don’t buy anything from anyone who calls me or comes to my door.”
…in the case of robo calls, I hang up immediately.
I never answer my phone unless I know who’s calling… in the case of robocalls, I hit stop on the ans. machine as quickly as possible.
