Working on the campaign

[catsittingstill]

I've been working to help the Democrats win votes here in Tennessee. I'm not much of an extrovert--knocking on doors has been some of the hardest, most tiring, most intimidating work I've ever done. I don't think I'm good at it. But the current election is so important that I feel I have to try. I called about seventy people registered as Democrats last night, trying to get out the vote. I'll be spending today at the Democrat headquarters, waiting to drive people who need a lift to the polls.

Wish us luck.

Some of the annoying calls may be coming from the Republicans, who have hired phone spammers in some districts--no info. about the Tenn. Senate race, though.

It's true. Republicans have been sending Robocalls pretending to be from Democratic candidates, and purposely doing so at 5 a.m., or at dinnertime, over and over, programmed to call back with the same message when a caller hangs up on it. In New Hampshire, they're using the "Do Not Call" list to do it. Their sole purpose is to unfairly get people honked off at the Democrats. Their tactics reveal no sense of decency, or shame. Filkertom's LJ had an entry on it....

This is definitely a national problem. In New Mexico, the RNCC was restrained from robocalls leaving false precinct information.

Just remember: the Republican Party hires spammers.
