2. Most of those client are campaigns
With the exception of a few others. I wonder what work they do for the Packers and Vikings. Those are the two organizations people should complain to.

3. Wow, you found, like, a whole nasty nest of 'em there, didn't you...
all cozy-like together?

The Insurance Federation? My, my. I wonder what they have to do with Repub candidates? I like them, and the Chamber of Commerce. Robocalling is pretty sleazy behavior, for the CoC to be indulging in, don't you think? They're supposed to be all-upright, and all. :sarcasm:

20. Boycotting Packer and Vikings is going to be a hard sell
However, any season ticket holders should raise holy hell at the front office about this.

23. Don't forget the Chamber of Commerce
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 08:30 AM by formercia
"“Joint and several liability reform has been a long standing priority for the business community, local governments, schools and non-profits. Grassroots wins the day in politics and FLS was an invaluable partner in implementing a targeted program to help secure the votes needed to pass this major legislation.”

—David C. Olson
President, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce
Chair, Civil Justice Coalition"

Civil Justice my ass. What nerve.

26. Re: Faxing--don't forget the "loop of doom" which is making 3 or 4 copies
of YOUR fax, the one you're sending, and taping them together, so there's a rotating loop of the same fax. Which results in an
infinite number of faxes being RECEIVED. Send multiple faxes while cleaning the house, watching TV, playing with the cat, whatever.

28. I Wish We Still Lived in Winona
We'd have been glad to picket.

For whatever it's worth, though, our best wishes and moral support are with you from afar.

May you make the evil bastards' lives unlivable until such time as they mend their heinous ways. If ever full-tilt shunning and shaming were called for, it's called for in this instance.

32. That should read Shaffer For Senate..
A minor nitpick for sure and I'm not surprised he's their client. He's running a desperate campaign since he got caught trying to make an oil deal with the Kurds. Udall has been calling him "Big Oil Bob". :)

33. SOME LINKS and Connections I made this a.m. (copied from another
thread--)Boycott, protest, and make noise---ask these clients if they want to use a company that makes these robo-calls--

Republican National Committee
National Republican Senatorial Committee
National Republican Congressional Committee
Republican Governors Association
Well, these assholes aren't going to care--except RGA, who would probably like to preserve their political aspirations even as the national/federal Republican party shoots itself.


Minnesota Chamber of Commerce--
is headed by the head of Hubbard Radio Network--since you are in the listening area, you might want to give the local stations a call.
http://www.hubbardradionetwork.com/affiliates/affiliate...


United States Chamber of Commerce--
Tom Donahue is a die-hard repuke who really won't give a crap.

Wisconsin Manufactures and Commerce
A very pro-business lobby group--BUT, their board of directors includes MANY businesses that make things---JOHN DEERE, SNAP ON, etc... http://www.wmc.org/AboutWMC/catpage.cfm?category=8


American Academy of Ophthalmology ask their trustees if they support these robo-calls http://www.aao.org/about/governance/board/roster.cfm
Be nice--thee guys may not know of the linkage....


Americans for Tax Reform
Citizens Against Government Waste
Winger welfare 'think' tanks/lobbyists. They won't care.

NCG Porter Novelli-- PR firm--and THEY have clients galore....
HP, Proctor& Gamble, etc..
http://www.porternovelli.com/site/mainpage.aspx?pgname=...


Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings---
Direct contact of the front offices...ask if this is a policy they support...

Insurance Federation of Minnesota
Geico and AIG are associate members.
Can we call the gecko? Don't 'we' now own AIG?
http://www.ifm2.advocateoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_BAS...


National Beer Wholesalers
http://www.nbwa.org/About_Us/presidents_message.aspx

National Restaurant Association
http://www.restaurant.org/aboutus/contact.cfm

APCO Worldwide--

another PR firm--who might still employ Snotty McClellan.
their clients--
http://www.apcoworldwide.com/content/case-studies/index...

Weber Company
--can't tell who this is--the pharma corp or the grill maker.

Wisconsin Farm Bureau
Illinois Soybean Association
Hey--I thought McCain wasn't too keen on biofuels--why are these guys signed on?
http://www.wfbf.com /
http://www.ilsoy.org /


National Federation of Independent Business
These guys are supposed to be non-partisan, and they have contact info here,
http://www.nfib.com/page/aboutHome

National Rifle Association
Um, yeah....

Arizona Realtors
Contacts--these guys are part of the National Realtor Association, and aren't they supposed to be following (and perhaps promoting) anti-discrimination polices?
http://www.aaronline.com/documents/AAR_overview.aspx


Hill and Knowlton
Another PR firm, but I can't see these winger assholes, or their clients, caring...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_&_Knowlton


Republican State Parties
All 50 states
US Senate Campaigns
Bob Corker For Senate - TN
Jon Kyl for US Senate - AZ
George Voinovich - OH
Cornyn For Senate - TX
Elizabeth Dole For Senate - NC
Gordon Smith For Senate - OR
Jim Talent For Senate - MO
Kit Bond for Senate - MO
McConnell for Senate - KY
Norm Coleman For US Senate - MN
Santorum 2006 - PA
Schaeffer for Senate - CO
Dole and Coleman are the only candidates here who might not care to have their names associated with the robo-calls. And that's only because of tight races for them....As for the state parties, I don't know that any of them would show any personal decency.



BE POLITE--some these firms, people, may not know about the robo-call association. Be persuasive....not a jerk.
