Gwinnett Buzz

What makes Lorraine Green think I wanted five recorded voicemails from her today?  What arrogance!  In fact, the only automated calls I have received during the runoff period have been from - yep, you guessed it - Lorraine Green.  Three of today’s messages did not indicate who placed the calls.  However, each message used phrases nearly identical to a mesasge that did state it was on behalf of Green: “all registered voters are eligible to vote” or “vote at your regular polling place before  7 p.m. today.”  I realize that the Do Not Call registry does not apply to political candidates, but don’t candidates realize that when they call voters who have otherwise indicated they do not want unsolicitied phone calls, they might end up driving potential votes away rather than pulling them in?  If I had been on the fence today, five calls in one day would have certainly pushed me to vote for Charles Bannister.  Wake up, candidates!  If you voluntarily observe the Do Not Call list, you are likely to win more respect from voters!
