Comments on: Jonathan Levey Endorsed by the LA Times http://www.pinedaconsulting.com/index.php/2006/05/30/jonathan-levey-endorsed-by-the-la-times/ One pollster's perspective...

However: 1. Automated dialers (aka phone spam) should not be used in the first place. We pushed our representatives to pass laws on unsolicited calls for a reason. Yes I know of the loopholes that allow this type of call but the point is that people don't want these intrusions. 2. I called the number listed on the first message and requested to be taken off of the list and was told that I would be. Clearly this was not done. 3. How many possible candidates are there for me to vote on today? 50? 100? What if all of them had used phone dialers? My hope is that whether or not you write it as a comment that you not use this tactic in the future. Thank you for your very polite response. However:

I am sorry we annoyed you. It wasn’t my idea or anybody else’s to have an automated dialer call your house twice - it was a screwup. I am sorry we annoyed you.

I hope that it wasn't your idea to have the automated dialers calling my house not once, but twice in the past few days. Do you have any idea how annoying that is? It is an unlisted number for a reason you know. This is a good site unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about one of your clients, Mr. Levey.
