telemarketing for gay marriage

So I did the phone banking thing last night and it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done, but I'm glad I did. I had to psych myself up before every call but I could usually find something to say once I started talking to the person. Most of them were aware of what was going on but when they weren't we were supposed to give this whole speech bringing them up to date so I half read off the script and half improvised for that, which I think will help a lot if I decide to do the door-to-door thing again. Most people were really nice and wanted to help even if they couldn't, but this one girl told me really rudely that people had been calling her every week and she kept saying she couldn't do it because she was in school all through summer. I told her I would make a note of that, but I don't know if anyone will make a note of my note, they urged us to be quite pushy. I might have gotten more results if I hadn't been too nice with people, but I did end up with a good handful of yes's and maybe's for both canvassing and phone banking which was in line with what everybody else got.

Oh and my girlfriend's mom is a complete crackhead. She friended her on facebook and told her that her dad isn't her real father, when it's quite obvious that they look alike, and strangers think that she and her cousin on her dad's side are sisters, plus she inherited his migraines. WTF.
