Weak voters are getting mad because we're CALLING THEM SO MUCH.

[squirekyle]

Just got a call "Yeah, you guys have been harassing the %?*# out of my cellphone, so I'm not even interested anymore"

No kidding guys, I'm afraid we're spamming people so they don't want to vote anymore.


90% of my calls have been people who have already been contacted and are wanting to be put on DO NOT CALL lists. One guy said he was on do not call and was STILL getting calls. I know people are getting off work soon so I'm not sure how we should handle this.

The campaign should know about it for sure, contact them here: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/contact-us/

Ugh.

 

[SilentBull]

Well this sucks.

 

[jersdream]

People don't like to be bombarded with phone calls.

 

[afwjam]

This stuff happens. Be polite, keep convincing people to caucus and bring friends and family. Keep pushing.

 

[squirekyle]

Let the Ron Paul Headquarters know about this: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/contact-us/

If you're concerned about bothering people and having it reflect poorly on the campaign, start your call off with "Hi this is X. I'm a volunteer calling to remind you that the Caucus is tonight at 7." If they are not interested they will simply hang up. If they remain on the line say, "Are you still supporting Ron Paul?" and go from there.

Just started calling and got one older lady who sounded PISSED, the second hung up as soon as I said "Ron Paul", and I just asked a guy if he had been contacted by the Ron Paul campaign today, and he said "Four Times".

What the hell?

 

[SilentBull]

It sounds like at this point this is hurting more than it's helping. Maybe we've already contacted everyone?

I am logging off of PFH. At this point its becoming counter-productive.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Depressing.

 

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

I agree. People, trust your gut on this one. If you feel your calls are becoming counter-productive. Stop calling.

5:30 central time is when people register and/or sign in to the caucuses, and they start at
7:00 central time. the campaign has got to shift the efforts and energy to new hampshire!!!

 

[SaulPaulinsky]

Yep. I haven't been calling the last 2 days because I knew this would happen. It even happened when you were in Iowa to call people in the 90s before all this phone from home jazz. I had people telling me "look I'm a supporter but I'm getting really tired of all these calls. I'm going to caucus for your guy, I know where to go so be happy and leave me alone."

 

[bronxboy10]

I'm going to hold off on more calls to Iowa, but tomorrow i'm going to start calling NH. It'll be my first serious day of calling.

 

[seapilot]

Save it for Nevada phone bank opens up tonight while you are watching the caucus results!

 

[runamuck]

I was kind of afraid of this happening...

 

[squirekyle]

I wish they would fix it to where if there's more than one voter in the home they would just call that one family. They definitely need to fix this before the other early voting states.

ya we probably shouldve stopped hours ago, at least stop now.
It's just common sense.
