I got an automated call from a candidate last night. I emailed his
office and (truthfully) told him that I had planned to vote for him but
I will not support any candidate who ties up my phone with recorded
messages that do not allow me to immediately disconnect. I noted that
had there been an emergency I would have lost about 30 seconds.
To his credit he replied this morning but expressed consternation
that I could not spare 30 seconds to listen, obviously missing the point
about a potential emergency.
I would like to see a poll on votes gained vs. votes lost after
automated calls.
