What’s the most annoying intrusion of the political season?
--Not the endless attack spots on television and radio.
--Not the countless flyers clogging mailboxes.
--Not the canvassers attaching leaflets to front doors.
--Not the door-to-door and telephone pollsters.
--Not the hustling petitioners at public venues.
No, the most annoying intrusion is the recorded voice of a political celebrity tying up your telephone with a recorded message.
Who actually listens to those canned spiels? Who actually is swayed by that nonsense?
Nobody.
Make recorded political phone calls part of prohibited telemarketing.
Please. (24 OCTOBER 2004)
