This number is clearly calling for a political cause. Sounded republican to me. He never said who he was calling for or from. He asked who i would vote for Governor in Indiana (responding in a short "if you say so" way when I said Jill Long Thompson). He then asked about the representative (Elrod or Mary Ann Sullivan). Then he asked if I could be persuaded to vote for Jon Elrod instead of Mary Ann Sullivan because she doesn't support a cap on property taxes.
Called our house at 11:15 on Sunday morning. I couldn't immediately find phone so didn't answer. The person said hello several times after the answering machine message. Background noise sounded suspiciously like telemarketing -- multiple voices etc. My guess is it's election related. Tried to ring them back and it didn't ring at all-- nothing-- just like the phone was dead. Reverse lookup directory said Fresno TX (near Houston).
I just got a call from a VERY RUDE operator. He asked who I planned on voting for in the upcoming senate race. I told him I was NOT voting for Ted Stevens and he cut me off and told me that many Alaskans feel he did not get a fair trial and that I need to vote for him, yadda, yadda, yadda. So I cut him off and told him that I would never vote for Stevens and hung up on him.
