Phone calls

I have been getting at least two, sometimes three, telephone calls every day soliciting votes for one particular candidate for State Senate.  Last night I actually begged them to please stop calling me.  It would be nice if the Do Not Call lists also pertained to political candidates and their parties. 

On the subject of unsolicited telephone calls, some of the calls we get now from charitable organizations are amusing to me;  we have had three requests from organizations that, when we advised we would give a certain amount ($10.00), we were told that this was below their MINUMUM CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT!! 

Oh, my.
