I don't think much of phone solicitations, but I like political surveys. I think it gives me a chance to speak my piece. I don't like except for the pseudo-surveys that are laid out to trick you into giving them the answers they want you to give - those are just thinly-disguised advertising.
I used to say that I had never voted for a Republican - but now we have a Congressman (Doolittle) I dislike so much, that I vote in the Republican primary for anybody who will run against him.
