Soapbox: My Vote

Listen friends: Voting is confidential, allegedly. I have received 4 calls in the past hour from volunteers that are asking if President Obama, Josh Mandel, Mitt Romney can expect my support tomorrow. If you volunteer at an office I'm sorry, but people do not want to answer these questions. You are aggravating them! Nobody should EXPECT my support at this time. Grassroots, and GPS, and whoever just called me now knows that asking me for support is, in my opinion, violating my privacy. I'm not posting my political opinion and if I wanted everyone to know my political opinion I would state it on here like I do every other thing that runs through my mind. With that said, here is my political opinion. It's none ya business. BTW, the billion dollars spent on presidential campaigning alone could have put American to work.

I would like a full-time job, I would be happy with 5/100ths % of your campaign budget as income and actually that is more than I'm looking for but keep cutting education funding and spend your money on the 232 unsolicited calls I've received in the past month. Forget the Federal "Do Not Call List" Volunteers have called to give me information, recordings of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Joe Biden, Josh Mandel...have littered my answering machine. And I mean littered it with trash talk in which I cannot get real messages because the machine is full. I will be voting tomorrow. I will not tell you who I support and why. I will say, vote yes on Issue 22 in Northeastern School District. This is a good thing for education and only affects working residents. I mean I gotta keep it interesting and list at least one issue that someone can challenge me on. In closing, I don't think the extra effort, ads, and definitely not the calls in Ohio really affect the outcomes of the election. People from all sides hate to be in Ohio right now, and if I wanted to hear what you have to say I can attend one of the 16 physical appearances in the past 2 weeks that either candidate has made within 35 miles of my home. I think that is valuable campaigning. Bothering me, asking for me by name, asking who can expect my support is nothing short of annoying.
