Santorum calls my house?

The useless POS Rick Santorum called my house today. Yes, it was a prerecorded message, and yes I hung up immediately. My question is this? How did he get my number? I am on the no call list! Also, I'm not registered as a scumbag GOP supporter. I called the number back and it gave me the option to opt out, if I gave them my number. I did. Lord only knows where my phone number is going to go from there.

He's annoying everybody in the state, one by one.

I'd want to sanitize my phone if he called me on it.

Political calls were exempt because politicians didn't want to deprive themselves of the ability to call.

I stayed on to give the caller a piece of my mind and to cost Ricky some money but the call ended without human contact

I recommend burning it in a pool of diesel, replacing the jack, and installing a new phone.

8. Robo telephone number

The original message and when I called back were both robo politicians. Lord knows we don't want them to actually take time out of their busy day screwing around trying to stop Obama Care, to actually make a phone call.

The number is 1-855-831-5474. I personally would not waste any more of your time to call a robo politician.

I don't know how they got my address, but as it was a pre-paid reply envelope, I filled it out for him.

His people might not be thrilled when they get my answers to their survey, though......

no clue how they get addresses. I thought maybe through the voting rolls somehow but I'm a registered democrat so I can caucus.
