I have had 8 (!) telephone calls soliciting my vote in the past hour. I don’t want to hear from these slimeballs. They are harassing me and every other voter in this state.
Since politicans are unable and unwilling to regulate themselves, here is my proposal for a ballot proposition in the next eligible state election.
The Leave Me The Hell Alone Initiative
Candidates for political office shall not solicit votes by telephone.
Violations by a “Clean Elections” candidate shall be punishable by forfeiture of all funding. Violations by a traditional candidate shall be punishable by a $100,000 fine for each occurrence, and punishable by an additional $500,000 fine for repeat offenses.
That should be pretty damn easy to get enough signatures to put it on the ballot. Who’s with me?
