'Let us sleep, Ron Paul!'

Have you heard the old saying 'The early bird catches the worm'? Well, I have decided the politicians think the early phone call catches the vote.



On Aug. 16, in the middle of the night, I heard a noise but couldn't quite figure out what it was. I rolled over, told my husband to turn off the radio and went back to sleep. We got up in the morning to find our answering machine flashing with a message. It wasn't my husband's radio - we got a call from a political candidate at 3 a.m.!



Sorry, Ron Paul, you won't be getting our vote. Yes, it was nice to be invited to a picnic, but did I really need to be invited at 3 a.m.? I wonder how many other people in the area got the same phone call.
