So, I'm a paid volunteer to make phonecalls for Charles Sanders
It's a pretty sweet deal. 12 bucks an hour, and I can do it whenever I want. I basically just tell people about the guy and when the election is (There is a script).
Anyone here done any telephone stuff like this before? Anything I should know?

1. If you're a "volunteer" why are you paid?
If you're paid, are you still a volunteer?

Just curious.

2. Interesting question. They called me, and 'volunteered' to pay me,
if I 'volunteered' to help :shrug:

3. Kinda sounds like they hired you.
Even if only on an independent contractor basis.

You do have to report this "volunteer" income, right?
