I hate phone banking.

However, I saved three ballots from being lost in the Post Office. (Oregon only counts ballots received not postmarked, so late voters need to use drop boxes or go to their county election offices.)

When you phone bank, more folks than you think thank you for what you are doing. Then you get hung up on a lot or yelled at, or you get strange comments. So to keep up the morale of the phone bankers, we have a wall of they said what?! 

" God's the Boss! Time is running out, you know!"

"I don't know if I can vote because I am blind. My daughter fills it out and she's a Republican and I can't be sure what she does."

"Uh..Oh...I have to go change my diaper!"

 "Does he have a country club membership? Because I am not voting for anyone with a country club membership!"

"No! I really don't like my house being monitored!"

"Kitzhaber is one of the Big Government types. Government never did anything for me. When I was on food stamps, no one helped me!"

"I am a  minister, I can't tell you how I vote."

And my personal favorite:

"I will never vote for anyone who has ever held office or who is considering running for office!"
