I know, and I'm really sorry for that ignorance and intrusion. Believe me I've lost a lot of sleep tossing and turning just flashing back to these atrocities.
I wish I had saved some of the messages people left for me when I ran for the school board and used a robocaller. It was really amazing. My message was literally thirty seconds and was basically "tomorrow's the election, don't forget to vote and vote for me." People phoned me just screaming and ranting and raving. It was so bizarre! I'm sure that First Lady could tell you some similar stories, or maybe people just think that a robocall for the school board is going too far.
I do want to stress that yesterday was all live calls, so no one should hate me too much for admitting I made a bunch!
