[QUOTE="witzend, post: 560971, member: 99"] Lisa, you live in Ohio, so it's going to be a battleground state FOREVER. But, if you want the phone calls to stop, I will tell you what they magic words are to make it stop. Before the conventions, you'll get calls from both parties. When they call say, "I am voting for xxx." It doesn't matter who you say you're voting for. If you say their guy, they'll ask if you want to volunteer and if you say "no" that's ok. If you say the other guy, they'll say "thank you" and won't call again. After the convention, you'll get calls from only your party. The very first time they call, tell them who you're going to vote for. If there's early voting in your state, tell them you're going to vote on election day, otherwise they're going to keep calling you until your ballot has been cast in early voting. They won't call you again. They also won't knock on your door. How do I know this? I was one of those people making those calls. No one really cares what you say, and you can lie if you want. But if you say "I haven't decided", or "I'm not going to share with you", they're going to keep calling until you do. Your answer is recorded with the national office's database by midnight and the next day you should be out of the database and not be bothered again. Bothersome? Yes. Legal on both parts? Also yes. Do what you have to in order to keep them from calling and knocking if that is what bothers you. It may irk you no end to give them information - true or false - but legally they can keep asking, and financially they're going to stop once they get an answer. [/QUOTE]
