*&!@$# Robocalls!

To the RNC/Ohio Republican Party:

Please stop making robocalls to my house.  I am waiting to see if I get a job interview and get false hope every time I hear a new message on my answering machine. Hearing another pre-recorded message about how the Democrats are poised to plunge our nation into chaos dashes my hope and puts me in a really bad mood.  TIA. 

I did get a kick out of the Sarah Palin call, though.  Wink

Re: *&!@$# Robocalls!

  • That would be the ORP. ?I'm surprised they're doing robo-calls though. ?Their big thing before was human to human contact.

  • Hmmm.  Maybe it was a person reading from a script?  I'm not sure now. Eh - I suppose if it weren't the ORP it would probably be another random message from my mom or some other call I didn't care about getting my hopes up!

  • They are very big on scripts. ?You can probably blame your DH for the calls. ?They generally only call registered Republicans and people who are flagged as likely to vote Republican (ie have made donations in the past).

    Yes, he's a registered Republican, and as he'll tell you, I'm happy to blame him for anything and everything!  Smile

  • It's one more reason to ditch your landline and go wireless!
  • That's why I always registered as independent in every state. ?I didn't want to get calls or mailings from anyone, and they tend to target the independents less. ?It only worked against me this year when I wasn't able to vote in a primary I actually cared about.

    That's not working for us. I'm a registered dem but DH is an independent and we get a *ton* of republican stuff in the mail and messages on the machine. DH keeps asking if the RNC realizes he lives in California and that they're wasting their money.

    It's not the RNC calling you, it's the CRP (California Republican Party). ?They have to spend their own money and are probably not getting a lot from the RNC. ?Since their money is raised from Californians, it kind of has to be spent there. ?I only know the ORPs operating structure. ?The CRP is apparently operating under a different strategy than the ORP. ?
