Phone banking!

Who named this activity phone banking? I'm not a happy advocate; but I have 30+ pages of registered voters whom I need to call in hopes of finding volunteers  to help with this election, Nov. 5th. It is slow going: two hang ups today, several good democrats who will vote for McAuliffe, etc and a delightful woman who wants yard signs. But I haven't found anyone who will be a greeter at the polls. I have found a friend who will help me call next week, so there is hope! I find after 11 calls, I need a snack. After two pages, I need a walk. After any more than that I need a nap or coma. Ach do! If only I had these sweet diversions! I can only rationalize that I make these calls for their future.
