I would be interested to know. You can not stop someone from using your name, unless it is to support a product or in making a false statement. I can't stop anyone from exercising their free speech rights, and I wouldn't try. I did not ask for anyone to endorse me, and I don't think what someone else thinks of someone is a valid reason to vote for them. What I don't like is trying to tell others who not to vote for. It is a tactic that I personally don't like. Now, I know that they have a perfect right to do that, but I have an equal right to say I don't like the practice and to not align me with that type of post. I would rather not be a part of it, even if they are doing it in an attempt to help me. It is my form of ethics and I will not compromise that for anything. I never have and never will. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
