A 16 year old just called.

The more I think about it, the more I think I should have given her money.

She was calling for the DSCC. She had the softest, most juvenile voice. I immediately knew she was a teenager. So I talked to her for a little while, told her how proud I was that she was calling, asked how she got involved. Her sister inspired her.

I wish I could call her back. I think I will try.

1. i dont ever give $ over the phone regardless of what they are calling for...I ask them to send a..

...pledge card. I have had a nice lady call several times and I 'accidentally' hang up on her so I dont have to outright reject them..... but she called last night and hubby said 'dont call here any more'. I was horrified!!! I told him that was bad karma and its hard to cold call..which is why i dont do it. They are volunteers and are trying to save our country. I told him just to not be so dang rude.

I may call that number back as well and, like you, give a little $.

2. Wasn't able to call back.

Blocked number.

Very saddened.

I wished her the best and told her that I hoped she had a good day.

I give to specific candidates, not the DSCC or DCCC.

3. Encourage the cold-callers, wish them well, keep it short because they have work to do

Polite and kind and thankful for their struggles, encourage the cold-callers, wish them well, keep it short because they have work to do.
