"Right to Life Crusade" phone survey
OK, this kind of crap pisses me off. I just got a phone call from some animated voice telling me it was taking a survey on the abortion issue. Normally I hang up on phone surveys but desperately wanted to answer this one.

So, choice one - if you support the right to life (misleading from the start) press 1. If you support the right to abortion, press 9. I pressed 9 (probably goes without saying).

And what do I hear after I press 9 - I support the right to abortion? I hear "Thank you for supporting the right to life yada yada yada". Now I'm f'n pissed so I try to dial the operator and again I hear "Thank you for your support yada yada yada".

I look them up on the web to send a scathing email giving them a piece of my mind (which is both inebriated and infuriated at this point) and I can't find them.

So I'm both asking for advice as to who to contact and trying to get the word out about this bogus frickin' poll. All advice welcome.

PS - mods - I'm cross posting this because I'm frickin' livid and want to get this in front of as many DUers as possible. Delete if you wish but I'd rather you not.

3. Makes me want to do a phone survey of my own
Where when you push the button for pro-life the recording says "Your vote has been recorded as being in favor of self-inflicted abortions with coat hangers. Thank you for participating!" Can you imagine the outrage?

But seriously, that is outrageous if anti-choice groups are falsely recording people's answers like that. No doubt they intend to tout it as evidence of a shift in public opinion. Yet another reason I trust very few polls.
