I'm being harassed
and I live in the Northeast! Rhode Island, for chrissakes. I got like five phone calls last night from some schmucks chanting "Four more years!" like a bunch of zombies. I had to disconnect my phone so I could get some sleep. People are writing threatening messages on my dry board on my door. This is insane! How does this happen in blue country?

3. Yeah, I know
I actually have an idea who my mystery callers are, so maybe I will do that.

4. Call the phone company...
Have them traced....call the cops.

Sadly, we cannot let anything go anymore. Give them an inch and they are going to drag you behind the short bus for a mile.

12. Yep, call the phone company
I suppose the laws vary some from state to state, but in Wisconsin, you can get a new phone number, no charge, after they give you a monitoring device to catch the harrassers.

They get fined, you get a new phone number, if you want it. It's a win/win all around.

The dry erase board is for messages. We all have extensions--they must have found mine somewhere.

6. There is no "blue country" and there is no "red country."
At least not in terms of geography. Sure, those states may typically go one way or the other, but huge minorities of opposition still live there.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

I'm sorry to hear that the zombie brownshirts have zeroed in on you. It's simply more evidence that they're focus is on power and being on the "winning team," rather than on doing the right thing.

Take care. You've got friends, no matter where you may be.

Salud!
