The 208-991-1285 caller is the Americans In Contact Organization. It's a Political Action Committee, or a private group organized to elect political candidates or advance the outcome of a political issue. This recent round of calls is to identify conservatives within communities, specifically in attempting to sway moderates on the abortion issue by insinuating that tax dollars are being spent for the procedure, though the recent law passed for health reform and existing federal laws prohibit gov't funding for abortion.
For all of you who are contacted, don't feel alone - the AICPAC claims to have over 120,000,000 homes' phone numbers and they will continue to robocall your house. Here's the company information for the advertising group (listed on the AICPAC website) running the calls:
"ccAdvertising master database of 120,000,000 publicly listed phone numbers currently re-flects the migration of mobile phone numbers to publicly listed directories. These publicly listed numbers are available as part of ccAdvertising’s normal “Artificial Intelligence Call (AIC)” survey processes and services. For more information or to schedule mobile phone identification services by State or Con-gressional District please contact Gabriel S Joseph III of ccAdvertising at 703/234-2200 or at
[email protected]."
Perhaps if enough people call Gabriel Joseph, the advertising group might reconsider ignoring the do not call list.
