This number, 202-567-5767, called my mobile phone and left a voicemail. It was an auto-dialer for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) rallying constituents to contact their legislators in Washington, DC today as the new Equality Bill, which will end workplace, housing, and other types of shameful discrimination against LGBTQ citizens illegal in all 50, has been introduced in the Capitol and will be coming up for a vote soon.
No, it's democracy in action...especially in the age of so much technology. Decades ago, folks stood on street corners doing exactly what these calls like HRC's are doing or they canvassed neighborhoods and walked door to door. Both are effective means of mobilizing people to support important social/political issues. Now, collection agencies, burial plan sellers, etc....THOSE are harassment groups.......
