Reply #6: Going through the list, here's the direct action I suggest on some clients---

[msanthrope]

Boycott, protest, and make noise---ask these clients if they want to use a company that makes these robo-calls--

Republican National Committee
National Republican Senatorial Committee
National Republican Congressional Committee
Republican Governors Association
Well, these assholes aren't going to care--except RGA, who would probably like to preserve their political aspirations even as the national/federal Republican party shoots itself.

is headed by the head of Hubbard Radio Network--since you are in the listening area, you might want to give the local stations a call.

Dole and Coleman are the only candidates here who might not care to have their names associated with the robo-calls. And that's only because of tight races for them....As for the state parties, I don't know that any of them would show any personal decency.



BE POLITE--some these firms, people, may not know about the robo-call association. Be persuasive....not a jerk.
