Letter: Don’t call me, I’ll let you know …

The Columbian

I am on the Do Not Call Registry because I do not want unsolicited calls.

I do not want calls from people selling me siding, roofing, carpet cleaning, anything. Now, I realize that there are exceptions to the Do Not Call list; groups that can ignore it and call me anyway; people I have done business with in the past; charitable groups, and politicians. So, I ask all the politicians who have been calling me every day for the past month: Are you so stupid as to think that, if I don’t want anyone else selling me anything, I want you to sell me your garbage? If you cannot respect my wishes not to be called, you are most likely not able to comprehend the aspects of the job you want me to vote you in to do. Do you really think that I will even vote for you?
