Just got off the phone (here at work I might add)with a Republican! I happened to answer the phone and the lady asked for my husband. My husband used to work here but he doesn't any more.
Anyway, I told her that he wasn't here but that I was his wife and asked if I could help her. This is what she said "Yes, I am with Congressman Tom Delay's office and *Republican something or other*. We wanted to recognize Jerry with a National Leadership award and talk to him about an immediate press release. Could you please have him call me at blah blah blah."
I was completely floored. Where did they get my husband's name? Why did they call him?
Now, I have to say that I am familiar with this tactic. They used to call my dad all the time. When you speak with someone about your "award", it only takes as small donation of x-amount of dollars to get it. To the Republicans of course. My mom and I used to have a lot of fun diverting these people away from my dad because he would usually give them money.
I am still wondering how they picked my husband to be one of their "award recipients".
