We need action, not recorded promises

To Tom Corbett, Sam Rohrer, Dan Onorato, Arlen Specter, Joe Sestak, Pat Toomey, Tim Burns, Mark Critz and any other candidate who has taken the time to call my house with a recorded message informing me of the promises that will be impossible to keep if they are elected:

I am in the middle of an intensive job search. Yes, I lost my job due to economic conditions and I count myself as one of thousands of unemployed Pennsylvanians. Even though I have caller ID on my phone, I feel compelled to answer each call labeled "private name" or "unknown number" in the hopes that one of these calls might be in response to the numerous resumes I have sent.

If any of you candidates for office truly cares about bringing jobs to our state and helping the unemployed find work, you would find it in your heart to stop these calls and order those organizations that are insulting your opponents to do the same.

Thank you, and no need for a return call.
