The Patty Wetterling campaign just sent an email out this evening asking voters to remain vigilant for robocalls in Minnesota's 6th District. From the campaign:
"ALERT: REPORT SUSPICIOUS CALLS TO 763-323-1803
Dear Friends,
We are continuing to receive reports of suspicious robo-calls,
falsely claiming to be from the Wetterling campaign.
If you receive one of these calls or notice other suspicious
activity, we ask you to call the Wetterling campaign headquarters
at 763-323-1803.
This is a very serious matter and your assistance is greatly
appreciated.
Thank you.
With regards,
Corey Day
Wetterling Campaign Manager"
A dKos user and friend of mine -- notapipe -- reports that his Sixth District grandmother has been receiving robocalls. Follow the jump:
Notapipe reports:
"She's been getting robo-calls. Lots of them. Often during dinner. Most of them explaining that they have a message about Patty Wetterling (before she hangs up). This is not an isolated event. The NRCC is spending tons of money on robo-calls that start out seeming as if they are calls FOR the Democratic candidate, so that, if you hang up right away, you get frustrated at the Democrat. But! if you keep listening to the end, it slams/smears the Democrat. Their objective is to either make voters angry at the Democrat or, if listened all the way through, to make voters like the Democrat less."
Bachmann, the state Republican Party, the NRCC, and the RNC need to be held accountable for this unethical and probably illegal action. This is fraud -- plain and simple.
Please help me compile information on this developing situation in Minnesota's Sixth District. Have you been robocalled? Can you corroborate with with evidence? Weigh in and I will update this diary accordingly.
