Never give your real number to a politician! I donated to Newt 2012 and have had over 500 phone calls from numbers like this since I started keeping track, about seven months ago. I am on the do not call list, but they exempt themselves and keep on calling. The caller ID displayed 'COLLEGE ALERT.' Politicians give or sell your information away.
I suspect that this is a political caller who has been using a long list of pseudonyms on the caller ID. Why politicians of either party, or in this case, PACS with their own agenda, think harassing people by telephone is an effective strategy, I'll never know. The real irony is, there have been dirty tricks operations where one side used such calls (made to appear as if they were from the opposition) to intentionally p*ss people off ! Clearly they know we hate these calls. Anyway, here is the list of suspected names I have gathered for these clowns.
College Alert 2023679221
Stop Obama 3012230051
Washington DC 2026506146
Member Alert 3012230055
I actually have three more possible numbers, using the names of individuals, but since that may be a different activity, I will not post them here.
Please folks, let's avoid the temptation to turn the nature of these calls into a political flame fest. It just degrades the quality of the site. Both sides are guilty of these kinds of calls, and for good or ill, it is the political season, so we can expect more of these stupid calls from both sides of the fence.
