The robo-callers are often not identifying their sponsors until the end of the call. (Which is against FCC rules).<br /> If it takes you more than ten seconds to identify who the call is from (not who the call is about), be suspicious.<br /> If the caller ID is from out of state be suspicious.<br /> If they call at odd hours, be supsicious.<br /> If they call back on you after you hang up, be suspicious. This is also against the FCC rules. (The goal is to make people think they are being harassed by the Democrats, and piss them off enough to change their votes.)</p> Other Mon, 06 Nov 2006 19:22:02 -0500 http://www.pdanewyork.org/node/294 <p>This photo-op proves that at least one person affected by Katrina is satisfied with Bush's response to the disaster.<br /> QED.</p> <p>This happens to coincide with a report today from "Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, 'Broken Promises: The Republican Response to Katrina,' a new report detailing the failed response in the almost one year since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast."

I look at how Bush's poll numbers are again rising - despite the failure of leadership following Katrina, despite the obvious lies that led us into the mistake that is Iraq, despite the scandals, despite the spying, despite all of it. I am starting to wonder what the use is in trying to fix a system for people who obviously don't care and/or don't understand. Is "America" a myth? Is it fixable?</em></p> Letters to Editor or Op-Ed Submissions Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:47:07 -0500
