How ridiculous.
No one I know on either side of the political fence listens to Robo-Calls.
The GOP is stuck in the 80’s if they think this makes any difference in an election outcome.
Candidates who listen to voters and NOT big buck donors will make the difference in the future.
why not allow an automated means of doing the same.
I don’t want political calls from ANYBODY. In 2008 Obama’s Campain was relentless.
Not only do I disagree with his opinion, I will hazard my own that it hurts a candidate and people WON’T vote for them when they use it.
If I keep getting robocalls from any candidate I get mad, and I’m far less likely to vote for them, period. Obviously I won’t vote for a democrat because of it, but I will refuse to pull a lever if they’re obnoxious enough.
The FCC can’t regulate calls that originate overseas from places like India.
Just run your call center operation out of India and tell the FCC to pound sand.
Also, the Dems have long nudged their voters to get their children registered. Let’s have our voters make sure their parents get to the polls.
Really?
I don’t know if it’s right for the FCC, but pollsters and politicians should have never been exempted from the do not call list law in the first place. I doubt killing GOTV calls is really going to impact one party over the other.
The article in a nutshell:
***
Dems own the world of social media - which is not affected by the new FCC rules - so those engaged in social media (young folks) will “get the word” - from dems.
The largest GOP base is older Americans - who, because of the new FCC rules won’t “get the word” - from pubbies.
***
What to do? Wring our hands? Curl up into a ball and moan?
Perhaps the pubbies simply need to get better at social media - duh!
If blocking calls from pollsters somehow managed to put Karl Rove out of business, I’d be 110% for this.
Not buying what this guy is selling.
Dont answer calls.
