Stop calling me

To Florida Legislators: I have a landline and a cellphone, and I have signed up diligently for all official Do Not Call Lists.

However, you passed laws to prohibit all unsolicited calls, except those from you. What makes you so different?

You wrote and passed these laws for you, not the citizens you are sworn to serve and protect.

What makes you think I want to hear from 1,500 pollsters and receive robocalls from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily?

Listen carefully: I do not want any of your calls, at any time. The bantering and nonsense, by both parties, is just mindless noise.

How about buckling down and focusing on passing some laws to help the people you were elected to serve? Please change these laws to benefit us, not your self-serving agenda.

I have kept the numbers of all your pollsters and campaign workers begging for votes, as well as some “not-for-profit” companies begging as you do (more than 45 within the past two months). I thought that you’d like to call them.

If you would give me your cell and home numbers, I’ll give you a call and share them with you.
