| How many other voters are annoyed by the automated phone calls asking for your
vote? Would someone please vote to outlaw this annoyance!! You won't believe
this, but the phone's ringing ...and it's Senator Kerry. | |

The last time a robot gave me life changing advice was in the 1970's. It was this commercial that constantly ran on Channel 56. Yes, C3PO told me, and R2D2 "not to smoke cigarettes."
Well, today, Election Day, the robots are back!
However, the advice they're offering goes something like this: "Hello, I'm (insert famous name here) and I'm calling you this Election Day to ask you to vote for (insert desperate candidate's name here). He/She is unlike any other politican and will bring world peace. Thank You."
The RoboCalls are annoying! If you are like me, you signed up for the "Do Not Call List" because you did NOT want to be annoyed. Unfortunately, political robocalls are exempt from the federal "Do Not Call" lists.
Isn't that convenient? The politicians who make the rules protect their own annoying sales pitches!
So here are my questions for you: Have you ever voted for someone because of one of these calls? Do you think political calls should be exempt from the Do Not Call? Did C3PO keep you from cigarettes as well?
Let us know what you think. We will share some of your comments on TV at 5pm.
Okay, got to go. The phone is ringing and I'm hoping it's a robot who just wants to talk. Not politics. Just talk.
