[Vision2020] Too Much

[Barrett Schroeder]

I never receive any of these calls, maybe because my
phone is a business account, but I've heard about them.

The reason so many of the calls are from Republicans right
now is that we have several crowded Primary races, such as
the 6-way contest for US Congress.

I know there is at least one Democrat also doing recorded calls: 
Larry LaRocco for Lieutenant Governor.  A friend played the
message he received for me.

It may be that these calls are so cheap that they just call everybody 
and don't worry about who they are reaching.
