Volunteer: Honey, I've been on the phone all night. I've called you 6 times, my sister three times, I made an appoinment to get the brakes checked out and Mitt calls every 5 minutes to see if the line is busy.

I've gotten calls and mailings claiming that I'm "One of the leading conservative voices in my area" and asking for me to send cash and volunteer.
