    Default How strange is this?

    So I'm getting the usual calls from candidates as election day is coming up. Today I got a call from a sweet little girl's voice - begging me to vote for the local school's bond over-ride . . .That seriously pissed me off . . it's a great school district and it's helped my property value immensely, however, it just freaked me out that the District has a little kid "pimping" for a bond over-ride.

    I think that's unacceptable - as I've never had that happen before, but maybe it's happened and I'm behind the times.

    Oh yeah.......THAT would be just too much for me.

    Time to call the news/tv stations and see if others are getting this same thing or if it was just a 'kid prank'........which we have a lot of here.

    That would really piss me off. I don't care if its for a school or not...it is inappropate to use kids that way, it is like "pimping" them.

    Never heard of this happening - could be an adult doing a child's voice - but it's still not right!!

    Another vote for "so, so wrong." At the least I would write a letter to the school board, or whoever, that you found this totally inappropriate.

    Or show up at the next school board meeting. I hate politicians anyway.
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
