Detrimental Phonebanking

Today was my first day ever volunteering for a political campaign and I have to say - I felt bad for the recipients of my phonebanking. I'm glad to have participated, but it seems that 80% of the people that the dialer put me through to (some 20 calls?) had been called some 3-7 times in the last 3 days and were on the verge of not supporting Bernie simply because of being called too much (all but one I was able to keep - and she was an older woman in her 60's... prime area to be retaining right now). If anything, I'm hoping this goes out to organizers as it seems that this info needs to be pushed along that some numbers have been completely saturated with calls.

EDIT: PLEASE KEEP PHONEBANKING - I ONLY RAISE THIS ISSUE TO DISSEMINATE FiRSTHAND INFORMATION
