I got one two weeks ago, here in Ohio, Cleveland area.
Question; “Are you satisfied with the job Pres. Obama is doing?”
My answer, a loud “No!”
Click. Dial tone.
Are these “866-” numbers? We have caller ID so I ignore those...
After a cocktail or two, I might answer just to have some fun....
Shocking.
I mean, it’s shocking that people are still paying for obsolete land lines. They are the exclusive province of telemarketers and other charlatans including pollsters with their preposterous sampling and results.
We let the machine answer all of our home calls. The volume is down to just audible so we aren’t bothered, and we check the machine maybe a couple of times a day to see what we have caught. Once in awhile somebody we want to talk to has left a message, and we call them back. We really don’t give a d-—— what people think.
We leave our cell phones off unless we are travelling individually, or expecting a call directed to those numbers.
We really don’t like intrusions by politicians into our lives. Even those we support.
While doing some routine computer maintenance for my 75yr old mom, I went through some of the hundreds of unread email messages. She would get 6 or 7 every day from the DNC warning her how dangerous the GOP was/is. The were all addressed from Pelosi, Reid, Schultz offices and local whatever local offices too. All begging for money. No different than any other outfit that scams seniors.
I do not know if the GOPe does the same thing.
I do my part to discourage those.
I don’t pick up the phone if I don’t recognize the number. Eventually, they stop calling.
Our landline telephone service offers caller id and call forwarding. All annoying calls are forwarded to our local movie listing message.
I’m thankfull I live in SC(Where barry has NO CHANCE!)my family that lives up in NC is going to be bombarded by Democrat BS. Plus the local station that Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy is going to be running political ads non stop.....LOL(Trying to get the “Seasoned” Citizen vote)
After being inundated with these vile robo calls from the local GOP clowns I finally resorted to calling their campaign headquarters every 5 minutes until they stopped. I also did the same thing to the local republican party headquarters threatening them with charges of harassment.
I know they carved out their exception to the Do Not Call law (which of course is illegal for them to do) but they still are not allowed to harass.
Why do we continue to allow them to pass laws we are supposed to obey yet they are exempt? Outside of their protection for what they say on the House/Senate floor, these traitors to the US Constitution (both parties) are supposed to be constrained to the same restriction imposed upon the rest of us.
I cannot imagine why anyone would be influenced positively by a robocall. If anything, they just make me annoyed with whoever calls.
