Been getting these things in super increasing numbers. Already have had 2 this morning. None from the Presidential candidates, but TONS of state candidates. Do these actually impact anyone?

I haven't been getting automated calls from presidential candidates either, but I've gotten a lot about the California props. They make no impact.

Name recognition, name recognition, name recognition.

I'd never run my campaign that way, and if your race is publicized it's worthless, but otherwise... they work.

Are these just happening on land lines or cell phones as well?

Mine was on my cell, because that is my main line, and I used it for voter registration. FAIL.

Hank Williams, Jr. called our house a couple minutes ago. My dad told him he could kiss his ass.

The NDP Party in Canada once asked me to volunteer for them. I was down with it until I was told I had to call people who didn't necessarily support the NDP (which is dumb) and ask them if they'd reconsider. I feel its kind of pushing beliefs on people.
