R.I.P. Heath Ledger

Who else is fed up with all the political campaigning BS!

I am not one to talk or discuss politics in any way, shape, or form. I do my civic duty and vote. The problem I have is the BOMBARDMENT of the phone calls from the presidential candidates running, not to mention the incesant knocks on my door from these people. The one candidate who seems to do it more than the others is Obama. I have told these people over and over again on the phone to stop calling me. And yet, they persist on ignoring my requests and continue to call every day.

I actually had one guy knock on my door this past Friday night and asked me who I was voting for. Personally I don't think it is any of his business. I did however see the big "Obama" pin on his coat and I did tell him, "well I am not voting for him". He tried to badger me into changing my mind. I told him, "sorry, but I have my reasons." I had to literally close the door on him to get him to leave.

I have no problems or issues with him being African American, the problem I have is the harrassment from his compaign committee via 10-15 phone calls a day, the almost daily visits to my home, the numermous flyers cluttering up my mailbox everyday, and the fact that he felt he did not have to put his hand on his heart during the pledge of allegiance. If he has that much disrespect for our flag, then how much respect does he really have for our country? As a veteran who served my country for 12 years, I find that distasteful, discusting, and disrespectful.

Sorry Mr. Obama, but you don't get my vote. Now tell your campaign committee to stop harrassing me!

Thank you. I will step down from my soap box now.
