How did I get on the list?

I have gotten no less than 3 phone calls today from women asking me to vote for Barack Obama in the Indiana Primaries. They asked for me, by name and assumed I was voting for him and wanted to make sure I was giving my full support by going to vote today. I have never done anything or signed up for anything that would indicate I’m either a Democrat or a supporter of Obama. So how did they get my unlisted phone number and why do they keep calling me?

I’m not an overly political person but I do have certain conservative viewpoints and am the wife of a retired military veteran. In general I am a Republican but would support whomever I believe matches my views the best. I vote for things that help support and encourage family and moral values.

So anyhow, politics aside, how did I get on a list that I am so far opposite of? Do they just randomly call people hoping to trick them into believing they should support Obama, even if they don’t? The one woman actually said to me, “well, even if you aren’t a Democrat, could you help Obama for us in THIS election?”

It was weird and really made me hesitant to answer the phone any more today!

    I had to check first (I had no idea, or forgot if his # was unlisted) but his number is listed. They must have somehow found a loophole to get the unlisted #’s. Very sneaky….

    Is he unlisted? We’re supposed to be….

    You are not the only Hoosier who has been getting phone calls from the Obama camp.

    Joe has been getting calls for the past few weeks!

    Not sure how they got his info either…
