Fighting back on Illegal Republican Robo Calls

Vote suppression RoboCalls from Republicans are being made in the millions. The calls seem to be from Democrats -- unless you listen past the introduction, and ring 6-7 times late night and early morning. Peter Goldmark's race is a target. Here's the Goldmark's response. If you get one of these calls, you can call WA State Democrats' hotline -- (recommended ASAP): 1-877-336-7492. See Eridani's diary on Washblog on how to save the calls to your harddrive.

According to info on Daily Kos and TPM Muckracker.com, this is a coordinated national campaign conducted by the NRCC and Conquest Communications, 2812 Emerywood Parkway, Suite 103, Richmond, Virginia 23294. - PHONE (804) 358-0560 - FAX (804) 213-0797, and active in at least 20 Districts. G2Geek on KOS says this could result in widespread civil and criminal sanctions that could bankrupt the Republican party. He's got specific advice. See below the fold for that & more.

From G2geek:
What we need is someone who will testify that they changed their vote as a result of these calls, and then subsequently learned that they had been deceived and feel that they have been cheated of their vote. To my mind (I am not a lawyer), that constitutes fraud. The more such people, the stronger the case. If this is going on across the country, it could be raised as a Federal RICO case. At minimum it should become the subject of a Congressional investigation after we take back the House.
