This number came up "STOP OBAMA".
I am at work, and when I answered with our business name they hung up.
When I called them back the CRNC (Young Republicans) answered and I went thru the prompts to be taken off the calling list. Hope it helps
Gag Me
Here's some further confirmation on that Young Republicans thing -- College Republicans, to be exact.
Apparently, the College Republicans must have taken over the CCS phone number (heretofore used by a sneaky debt collector who liked calling wrong numbers), because my house just got a call from 301-223-0051. My phone's caller ID identified the caller as "CCS," but the call was a robocall from the College Republicans, spewing out a bunch of Braveheart-like talk about hunting down and wiping from the Earth all vestiges of the unadulterated evil they call Barack *Hussein* Obama.
The call started with the annoying sound effect from the Emergency Alert System (wonderful to have blasted in your ear early on a Saturday morning.) Notably, the recorded voice -- who sounded like he came straight out of central casting for social director of the Duke University lacrosse team -- indicated that it was the 15-million strong youth vote that enabled President Obama to win the 2008 election, leading to high unemployment, crushing deficits, denigration of American prestige around the globe, etc. Fun stuff.
Predictably, the call was transferred to a live call center if you stay on the line (which I did, because the recorded voice said that if I stayed on the line, I could hear more about the hunt-down plan). The live female voice at the other end asked who I was, trying to see if it was my idiot brother on the phone. (Said idiot brother years ago gave this phone number out as his contact information to his conservative cronies, and the robocalls have come pretty steadily ever since.)
After that, she asked a push poll question that I ignored, gave a bunch of vague information about campus organization activities, and then immediately tried to solicit (first) $75 to $100 and then (when I said "no f'ing way") $35 to $50.
I can't wait for the Democrats to call up -- I'm going to have even more fun with them.
so sick of answering the business phone and having immediate hang up. that's what this one did again. I hope when these useless elections are over this will stop. I am really so sick of it.
