Sorry but you can't have my money.

At one point in my life I worked for a political organization. With this work I met many people, I traded phone numbers, emails, and joined many mailing lists. Recently some of those trades have found me again. Yesterday I had some missed calls from a number I didn't know. The way I do things is if you aren't in my phone book then I probably don't want to talk to you, so I don't answer. I started looking back and noticed I had a few missed calls from the same number (801-363-9449 call it see who answers) but they didn't leave a message, so that made me wonder.

My logic was they must have something important to tell me or they wouldn't have called again. So me being bold, maybe a little stalkerish (I'll let you pick), I decided to call the number the back. When I called someone picked up, which I wasn't prepared for (I had no idea what I was going to do should someone answer). They started in with the whole thing they say when answering phones. It was a workers union (Jobs with Justice) calling me to donate money. I kind of felt dumb after calling them, I had to play dumb like it was an accident that I dialed the number.

I do have one question about the group Jobs with Jusitce, are they the ones who have been picketing Oakland Construction with the "shame on you" signs? Because really I think that group needs to give up, they have been picketing for years and clearly it has helped. They even picket Target because we use Oakland Construction. The protestors also need to work on their PR. They have been doing this for years and it wasn't until a week ago I found out why they were protesting. If you have that much determination you should try to get your message out there more than just a "shame on you" sign.

I haven't been involved with a political group in awhile, yet they all still want my money. And they aren't the only ones who call. Thanks to Arlyn I get the calls from the Democrats (probably won't get my money either). I also get things from Rock the Vote trying to get me to give money. Now these are all great groups and if I could I would donate money. But really I like my money right now and I would like to keep it. There is no need to go donating it, buying things is way more fun!

Also, as for the peeling tongue I did some research it is most likely caused by a nutrition deficiency. I have discovered the tongue is the "gateway to our digestive track" and you can tell problems just from looking at the tongue. I have started taking a multi-vitamin to help fix the problem.

Jobs with Justice is not the people who do the "Shame on You" signs. that is another fringe labor group called the Southwest Carpenters. thy do not affiliate with other labor oranizations and those signs are pretty much the only things they do. and, they pay the people to hold those signs in front or reputable companies for cheap, cheap, cheap.
