With less than 28 days to go before election day StopPoliticalCalls.org has started to see reports in the media and from members that the robo calls have started, big time.
You can help us
Robo calls are the worst form of political campaigning. Candidates can send them and voters receive them and they disappear into thin air. There is no record.
Until now.
The internet has made it easier than ever to record robo calls and then put them up for the world to listen to.
There is no better disinfectant than sunlight.
**What we need you to do:
StopPoliticalCalls.org is keeping a database of all robo calls that are made in the 2008 election cycle. Since we are non-partisan, we have all calls made from all sides.
Here are two examples from members in the past two weeks right here in Northern Virginia. One is Progressive and one is from the VA GOP.
1--Working Families Win Robo call regarding Frank Wolf --> http://thinkdodone.typepad.com/ccd/2008/10/working-familie.html
2--VA GOP robo call --> http://thinkdodone.typepad.com/ccd/2008/09/va-gop-robocall.html
**What you can do:
1. Record the robo call.
2. Send the file or link to the file to me at info AT citizensforcivildiscourse.org with the subject: "Robocall Recording: Date, Name of Candidate"
**How:
1. If you have a VOIP service like Vonage, it is easy since the system creates files you can email quickly.
2. If you have an old fashioned answer phone simply get out your "camcorder", video tape the answer phone with the volume on, and upload the recording to YouTube.

These calls are an epidemic and are invading the privacy of All American Voters.
Our members are taking a stand and saying enough is enough at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.
Here is a quote from a member this morning:
"I find it very frustrating... I tend to get calls at the WORST time. I have a one year old daughter, and it NEVER fails that the phone will ring when I put her down for a nap or for bed. Also my vote is PRIVATE... so who do you think you are calling with a survey to find out who I am voting for!!! Stop calling me."

This is great, but political calls and political robo calls are exempt.
There is a new Political 'do not call' registry that is fighting back against politicians calling you at home with impunity.
