Regardless of the content, robo-calling sucks. The NRA needs to stop the s--t.

I've never heard anyone say that they like receiving automated calls with prerecorded messages.

How many people in Newtown have been called? How many are NRA members? It seems to me this is being blown out of proportion to further the notion of the evil NRA.

I'm sure you're right. We still shouldn't be using robo-callers. Regardless of the message, they do more harm than good. I wouldn't use robo-callers to sell Girl Scout cookies and I fucking love Samoas.

While we are at it can we get politicians to cut out the robo calls as well?

They are the worst offenders and are exempt from the laws concerning telemarketers
