Open Letter of Rage to the Republican Party of Arizona

Open Letter of Rage:
"Dear Fellow Republican,
Please, please, please stop calling me with campaign recordings. I'm already a registered Republican! What else do you want from me? I get called AT LEAST once a day with some pre-recorded message about voting from some Republican candidate. The Democrats have never called me. Maybe I should register Democrat so I can stop being harassed. Please, remove me from whatever list or whatever you do, stop wasting my cell phone minutes with needless pleas and leave me alone.

Thank you.

This is my phone number...480.***.****...stop calling it!"

The Republican Response:

We receive numerous calls and emails every day similar to yours. Unfortunately (fortunately?) we have nothing to do with these calls. The calls from candidates are in no way associated with the Party. Candidates get their phone lists from the County, from records provided when voters register. Any phone numbers they have, you provided at will when you registered to vote. You may contact the Recorder’s Office at recorder.maricopa.gov to find out who to talk to there about having your number removed from their records. However, since the candidates already have their lists, removing your number with the County Recorder will not affect the calls you are receiving this election cycle.

Arizona Republican Party"

Rage-O-Meter:
Comparable to kicked in the shin by a small child...every day, sometimes three times a day...for a month straight.
