One guy actually harrased me for awhile, but that's another rant. Anyways, so one of these times a guy asked me to donate and I said, "I'm sorry, I don't donate very much" and he said "no, i have you on the list right here, $2,000, $500, $1000..." I informed him I'm a student and in no place to make those type of donations, and that he must be mistaken. He sounded honestly confused and I said goodbye. What I think happened is that there is a person with the same name as me who has donated a large amount of money, that list gets cross referenced with local voting registration records, and so they get my phone number and someone else's donation history. So maybe there is another Michael Merritt out there chanting the praises of GWB and giving the party lots of money.
