GOP Robocall Firm Slapped With $3 Million Fine

It's usually illegal to make robocalls to cell phones, but one conservative robocalling firm apparently hasn't gotten the message.
The Federal Communications Commission announced a $2.9 million fine Thursday against Dialing Services LLC, a New Mexico-based firm that the FCC says continued to place robocalls over the past year despite having been warned against doing so in March of 2013.

Dialing Services runs the website gopcalls.com, which says it's worked with Republican candidates and conservative causes "for over two decades." The site claims to have provided "calling solutions" for political candidates including Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo and George W. Bush.

complained to our local phone company about the robocalls from a 202 area code. Noticed this number was the same as the Romney for President number. Now it makes sense because the voice over people were always the same. Thought these guy's were put out of business some time ago.
