Hello there. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number is 87797977937-3-47-425. If you want to be a part of this here program, I want to go to Daniel, who's been waiting very patiently on the phone. Daniel, welcome to the program. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Eric, I hope you're

getting over that food poisoning lots of fluids yeah stomach bugs and food poisoning are

not the best things to go through yeah especially right before the holidays or

during the holidays but I look at his preemptive weight loss.

Exactly.

My wife has had the stomach bug all week, and she said, I've only eaten one good meal,

and I was like, well, you've lost about five pounds, five or ten pounds.

But anyhow, let me get my point.

So I've been working in politics for 20 years.

I have been volunteering on campaigns, very successful campaigns.

I'd say about 80 to 85% of them have gone on to win their campaigns.

But I've come to the realization, and I think you may have had a caller earlier this week say this.

And you don't have to

agree with me I just want your advice um a lot of times candidates come out of the woodworks

when it's time to go campaigning but when they win or they get put into office or you know they

start day one it's kind of like they turn around and stop you He's like, okay, we don't need you from here.

We'll call you if we need to.

It's one of those they take advantage of you.

They only are around when they want to vote or get elected

and they forget about you.

And I'm always getting to the point where I'm getting sick and tired of helping campaigns
