Green Republican Candidate for U.S. Congress (CA), Zane Starkewolf made a robocall that I think he wanted to be sexy. Instead it sounds like a 6th grader's Halloween prank. Young female voice: "Mike Thompson's been a baaaad boy. We all said no to the bailout, but Thompson backed Bush, just like he did for the Patriot Act. Vote Yesssssss for Zane." I wonder if she works for the Michigan phone sex hotline.
His explanation: "I acknowledge that the idea behind the ad, and indeed the execution of the call, was not the safe route to take. And if my run for office was simply for personal gain, I would not have taken a risk. But the content and the facts within the message were there and need to be discussed. Hopefully this call opens up the forum for discussion on the issues and on the representation which is so essential to our system."
Not for personal gain...open up the forum for discussion. It worked. Go here for more info on robocall guidelines.
