Apparently the rumors about cell phone numbers being released to telemarketers is unfounded, and there is no deadline to register. However, I have been receiving quite a number of telemarketing calls and prerecorded messages on my mobile phones lately. In my opinion, telemarketers are the lowest life forms in the food chain and should be hunted down and exterminated. There should be a bounty on them.

Holidays at our house included Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Election Day. As a precinct committeeman, my father was responsible for securing a polling place. Since our precinct had no public buildings, the elections were held in our basement garages.
Preparations for the big day included polling the precinct with my mother, recording the results in huge books to be delivered Downtown, and cleaning the house and garages.
The festivities commenced with the arrival of the election machines. My brother and I watched the workers prepare for the election and read the candidates' names.
Mom also cooked for the precinct workers, preparing big scrambled-egg breakfasts and chili lunches. After school, my brother and I distributed campaign literature. Our father was generally on the ballot for precinct committeeman and state representative. I didn't understand why some people objected to my suggestion that they vote for my father twice.
The flyer I remember most vividly asked people to make Pat first lady. I had trouble comprehending that notion since Pat Nixon was not anywhere on the ballot.
"Bruce for Congress" flyers and posters were my brother's favorites. Although they supported the election of Donald Bruce to the U.S. Congress, my brother Bruce pretended they were for him. One of the posters hung on his bedroom door until 1968.
One year, the election was on my mother's birthday, Nov. 6. That year Dad ordered a birthday cake that we shared with many of her friends after the polls closed. We watched the returns on TV and particularly enjoyed the tallies of Dad's re-election to the Indiana House of Representatives. He, of course, went Downtown to the Republican election night gathering.
Since then, I've voted in every election.
I've been a newspaper runner, clerk, inspector and challenger. I cannot imagine not exercising my franchise. I hope everyone votes.
