North Carolina AG Opens Investigation of Robo Calls
By Paul Kiel - April 30, 2008, 6:22PM

And yet another development on those calls by Women's Voices Women Vote.

North Carolina's attorney general has just put out a press release (pdf) saying that he's investigating the calls and taking credit for having them stopped. "Regardless of the motivation, the robo-calls violated the law and they needed to stop," Roy Cooper said. He also includes a correspondence with the group's lawyer. In the letter, Cooper requests a variety of information about the calls.

Sarah Johnson, the group's spokeswoman declined to comment on the correspondence, referring questions to the group's lawyer. But she did say that the calls occurred last Thursday and Friday in North Carolina as they did in all the other 24 states (pdf) targeted by the group this April.

[myrna minx]

4. Gee, voter disenfranchisement or pastorbating.

I hope they do the right thing and expose the robo-calls for what they are: not several glaring "mistakes" but true voter disenfranchisement. :grr:

5. North Carolina AG has issued a press release.

Keep this kicked, it needs to be seen

8. I hope they jump on this

This could be huge! And the Clintons need to be exposed for who they really are.

12. Story is a go.....not sure what page it's on though.

Deserves to be FRONT PAGE but probably won't.

20. This is a news organization newsroom.

[EFerrari]

24. Won't they elide the Hillary angle? I've seen it's on some networks

but no mention of the HRC elephant in that room.

[marions ghost]

21. OK

[Frank Booth]

25. There's no way. This is real news. Why would the MSM care?

[KittyWampus]

I am disgusted
