I am 83 years old and have been quite sick for years but always voted. Well, that has ended. I am tired of being rushed to the phone to hear a recording about who I should vote for and why, each time thinking one of my five children might be phoning me for a chat. I wouldn’t mind so much if I could talk to this person but it is a recording. Well they have lost me completely. I am through voting because of this rude way of getting votes. Goodbye!!
