Hillary Clinton just spam-phoned me…
So our home phone rings. I pick it up. H.R.C. is on the other end of the call (recorded of course) spamming me with why she’s going to make a great President.
NEWSFLASH: I haven’t signed up for anything asking for these phone calls. I just happen to live in New York where she’s been Senator. This is SPAM, just like all the unwanted emails that flood into my inbox daily, except it’s more intrusive because it invades my home. I’m on a do not call list, and yet H.R.C.’s people still thought it would be cool to interrupt my dinner with their annoying prerecorded propaganda. Boo on them.
I spoke in the phone, “You just lost my vote!” and hung up.
(Note: this doesn’t mean that I’ll be voting for her opponent necessarily, it just means that I very may well abstain from voting, b/c I don’t believe in giving any support to anyone or anything that I don’t fully support; yes, I know that is annoying to many of you people out there who maintain that every vote counts despite the presence of the electoral college system mucking things up, but it’s the way I’ve always been and I doubt it will change any time soon).
If anyone involved with the Clinton campaign would like to contact me with an apology, I can be reached at ck at sampletheweb dot com. Please, do not call. Thank you.

With the rise in micro-targeting in the political field, it may only get worse :(
I’m not sure if they’re bound to the same laws as telemarketers when it comes to the do not call list, but I’ll ask. The undisclosed campaign the undisclosed person close to me works for has to make thousands upon thousands of these calls every week — only they do them by hand instead automate for this very reason (dont call people twice when they get angry kinda thing)

I too received this H.R.C. phone call this evening. My son answered the phone and started saying, “It’s Hillary on the phone!” Not knowing any Hillary, I proceeded to ask, “Who is Hillary?” He quickly responded with, “Hillary Clinton!” and put the phone on speaker. Sure enough, it was a recorded message from H.R.C. coming through the phone. I too am on the “Do Not Call” list and find that this is completely inappropriate for this type of call to even be allowed in my home!

Add me to the list I just got a recorded message supporting Hilary Clinton and I as well am on the do not call list. This however was not my first, I received several in the past few days and I am less then pleased about it. I was hoping to find a Hilary Clinton do not call list this is how I ended up here. She will never get my vote.

The Clinton campain called my house SIX times on Super Tuesday. Isn’t that a bit too extreme? I voted against her because if she can’t respect my being on the do not call list, she surely won’t respect anything about me as President.

“Hillary” has called me every day at least once for about a week now. And last night I got a call from her husband as well. This is ridiculous, and I want to find a way to stop it, so if anyone figures out how, please post it here. They’re calling me on my business number!
