Wow. The asshattery around here amuses me so.
Guess what?
The
Democrats
use them
too.
Don't act like it's all one-sided.
Quote:
“The ability of 527 groups to engage in political activity without approval of candidates for elective office is the loophole in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2001 authored by Congressmen Shays and Meehan that allows for so called robo-callers to operate with impunity.
The law needs to be changed, and as a member of Congress, I will make amending the campaign finance law a priority. None of the robo-call activity that is being conducted in the 4th Congressional District originates from Farrell for Congress. I do not condone these calls.
Candidates should speak for themselves. Congressman Shays and I should be having an open and honest debate about issues important to citizens of the 4th District – the war in Iraq, our worsening energy crisis, impending problems with Social Security and the inequity of our prescription drug prices.
Anonymous callers who seek to undermine this public exchange of ideas that voters want and deserve, have no business in our political process.”
