Conservative advocacy group to launch robocalls against Hodes, Shea-Porter
June 17, 2008 Freedom’s Watch, the conservative advocacy organization, is launching about three dozen robocalls over the next week targeting U.S. House members across the country, including several vulnerable incumbents in New Hampshire, PolitickerNH.com has learned. The target list for the robocalls includes New Hampshire Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes among a host of other members of Congress. The calls start off by reminding recipients of current gas prices and emphasizing how the prices affect the cost of food. The calls also stress the potential for domestic drilling and mention that the member in question has voted against oil exploration on the continental shelf. After Freedom’s Watch launched in 2007 it initially focused its efforts on conveying a national security-focused message. But the new robocalls underscore how the organization is switching to a more economic-focused message. |
