I received a phone call from the "Ontarians for Action in Government" yesterday. They called from "Unknown Name, 000-000-0000" (this isn't proper, as most telephone companies use "Unknown Number" instead of numerals to denote such telephone numbers).
It was an automated message that urged me to call my local MP. The voice told me that because of the same-sex marriage legislation (Which I believe is
Bill C-38), our country is "facing certain disaster" and to have my local MP vote against the (budget?) vote that is happening today, so that all of the Bills get dropped, in hopes to stave off the same-sex marriage legislation for another government, or budget (I can't remember which as I am not into politics).
There was a news item on my local radio station regarding all of this, but I only caught the tail end and did not hear any details of whom it was who financed or set up the automated calls, etc.
I had a mind to call up this organization, but of all my Googling, I can't find them. It is useless for me to call my local MP, as he is obviously in Ottawa and his office will not be able to respond to everyone's calls within a timely manner due to the vote.
I live in Ontario; I do not know if it has gone any farther than my city. Has anyone else received such a telephone message? What action did you take?
