RE: Cold Calling

“Take care! The quickest way to get me to vote Democratic, in fact about the only way, is to cold call me on my cell. I don’t pay the subscription fee to canvas for ads. Leave me alone!!” — Bill N

I can understand and appreciate that. I hate political cold calls myself.

However, allow me to point out that Sergio stated the cell phone numbers were solicited of people who attended a Democratic Party rally, by the ‘warm-up’ crew. So the cell phone numbers were provided willingly by the attendees.

This seems to me to be a rather clever approach to soliciting would-be volunteers to help with a campaign. And I appreciate the lesson learned.
