Michigan candidate for Governor, Jennifer Granholm has personally called my house no less than 5 times in the past 3 months. A the end of the pre-recorded telephone call, she gives a number to contact for more information. I called it and asked to be placed on their “don’t call” list. My request was apparently ignored.
Since Mrs. Granholm also list several tactics to “take control of your telephone and stop telemarketers,” I decided to follow her advice. I contacted the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and added myelf to their national list to stop receiving calls from her campaign, but since her campaign is not a DMA member, I doubt it would help. It didn’t.
Now, remember that one of Mrs Grantham’s biggest concerns are telephone telemarketing solicitation. I have filed a complaint letter with her office, since she is the Attorney General of the State of Michigan, about her own campaign tactics… Since pre-recorded telemarketing is illegal, I thought it was my duty as a citizen to report this criminal behavior to the (ahem) proper authorities.
Somehow, I think she’ll get away with the heinous crime.
What is worse, if I was considering voting for her, she has lost my vote. What a terribly stupid way to loose a vote. Yet somehow (again), I think that she’ll win in the end. Then, I hope to begin my pre-recorded telemarketing campaign to her office. I have a arm-long list of issues, send me yours too if you wish.
