CONCORD, N.H. -- The National Republican Congressional Committee acknowledges that its automated phone program on behalf of a local congressman may violate New Hampshire law, but said that it would continue, despite opposition from local party leaders.
Two complaints filed with the state attorney general's office Friday accused the congressional committee of violating state law by directing automated phone calls to those on the federal Do Not Call Registry....

That's the way I remember it, anyone?
Yep. I remember it that way too.
Is the karl rove automated mind control device still legal ?
You're right, political calls are exempt from the NATIONAL do not call list. This is a pi$$ poorly written article. NH may have a local law, but it sure isn't clear by this piece of garbage.
Politics, charities, and surveys.
The NRCC is fast rising to near the top of my S##T list.
Call me once a day, I can live with it
Call me twice a day, I start getting annoyed
Call me 3,4,5 times a day, you're on my list.
They're on my list
I was just interupted while dialing an outside call by them ringing in. Had to go back and look the number up again.....grrrr!
After the election, I may revise that policy, but then again, it's actually much more peaceful this way anyway.
I have caller ID and knew it was a call I wouldn't accept. But, I was using a portable phone that let's me dial the number before actually connecting to the line. When I connected, the jerks were still recording their spiel to my answering machine and I couldn't get a dial tone, and couldn't disconnect them until they were finished.....there's another one right now.
:...even if I don't stay on the phone to chat with ya!"
There's no one to chat with. These are all recordings
I've been getting a lot of Republican calls..........but the Dem calls out number them at least 2, if not 3, to 1.
Laws? We don't need no stinkin' laws!
The Republicrats seem to think that the laws don't apply to them, but they want the laws enforced against other parties.
And yet another one...... ;-{
They have another tactic too, I see. The last call showed an area code and phone number, so I dialed it back. Got a recoriding saying it's no longer in service or disconnected. How do you make a call from a disconnected numger?
There's no one to chat with. These are all recordings
I have to wonder if these are the idjits that call my house every hour on the half hour and hang up on my machine.
federal vs state law
AND strict scrutiny protection of political speech.
VERY poorly written article.
actually the federal laws actually superceed this.
In fact most states actually excluded political calls BECAUSE of first amendment protection issues.
The republicans are on solid ground legally.
It is just a poor article.
