Hello?

Submitted by James on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 6:05pm

I expected it to come, but I was still caught off-guard today when a volunteer reached me at home by phone.

Hi. I'm calling from the Larry Kissell campaign. In the past you've been an important supporter for Congressman Kissell and I'm calling today to ask if you'd be willing to contribute $500 to help him get reelected.

No, I would not be willing to do that.

Okay. Well, thanks.

That must have been a satisfying moment.

I won't give another cent to Kissell. I hope he has to go find a job.
