High winds caused a prolonged power outage in my neighborhood yesterday. This afternoon I returned home from having sought overnight shelter at my Mom's (I am sort of partial to heat in 19 degree weather), and at 5:48PM to be exact, I had just reclined on my couch ready to indulge in some mindless DVD entertainment when the phone rang.
When I answered, this is what I heard from a recorded male voice as soon as I said hello (I was suffering from sleep deprivation, 30+ year old single pull out sofa beds will do that to a person, so this is NOT exact):
"Do you want your hard earned tax dollars to be paying for abortions in the new health care legislation?"
I responded with "Who is this?" and was immediately disconnected.
My caller ID showed "20 CAMPRSCH 09 202-870-5868"
Naturally I have googled but can't find anything identifying who this is, let alone who is paying for this supreme load of bullshit.
I am so gawd damned sick of this crap I could spit! So I am appealing to you net savvy kossacks out there to use your sleuthing skills and maybe we can do something about fighting back when we know for sure who is paying for this tripe.
Of course, it's these people...
...but which people in particular?
BTW, I am on the DNC list, was this a violation?

Thanks to KingofSpades for the link to TPM
The Family Research Council is doing a robo-call on health care reform suggesting the bill includes taxpayer funded abortions but also asking about malaria. snip The calls, described by both readers as push polls, asked if the person on the other end of the line supported health care reform efforts on Capitol Hill even though it includes taxpayer funded abortions.
This sure sounds like my call but the TPM article does not list any identifying phone info.
