This isnt a typical political rant. I am flat out torqued by all the people who keep stopping by my house to ask me if I have voted yet or how I intend to vote or where I intend to vote. I just had another one stop by. These voting nazis are insistant on knowing where and when I intend on voting. Had 3 of them from different groups stop by today alone and had no less than 6 last week. My husband has taken to demanding to know who they voted for in the last presidential election and when they tell him its none of his business who they voted for he tells them "Exactly right" and shuts the door in their face. I just chased the last one off the property with the help of my 100 pound dobie/boxer mix. Now dont get me wrong I vote. I did it by mail in ballot. Im not against voting. I believe it to be my responsibilty as well as my privelage, but dang it when did it become ok to harrass people in their homes about voting? What if I didnt see anyone worthy on the ballot and decided to abstain as is MY RIGHT? I shouldnt have to explain daily where I voted or how I voted. We are also getting up to a dozen political calls a day on the landline and nothing I do stops those calls. I had 5 yesterday alone from the same group. 5 on SUNDAY for heavens sake!!
I am beyond annoyed by the persistance, its bordering on flat out harrassment and I dont know how to make it stop. Before chasing off this last one I asked him how to get off his list and he told me that the only way to avoid all the calls and visits was to drop my voter registration!!! I cannot freaking believe that the only way to stop this is to give up my right to vote? What the heck? I was under the impression that like religion I have the freedom FROM politics if I so choose. Not according to the voting nazis.
End of rant sorry if I offended anyone
