Ron Paul Robocalling Registered Dems

Ron Paul Robocalling Registered Dems

The Ron Paul campaign has started automated phone calls to registered Democrats, urging them to register as Republicans for a day to caucus for Paul.

A 31 year old female registered Democrat reported receiving the call on Thursday at her home number in Marion, and provided a recording of the call to Iowa Independent.

The male voice on the call never gives a name, but offers the following pitch:

"Hello. I'm a registered Democrat voter here in Iowa supporting Ron Paul for president because he's serious about actually changing things in Washington. I'm re-registering as a Republican now, or at the door on caucus night, so I can vote for Ron Paul in the caucus on January 3rd. Hey, I can always re-register as a Democrat any time after the caucus."

For 20 years as a congressman, this guy has never voted for more federal control, to overspend the budget, raise taxes, or increase government regulation. He even voted against the congressional pay raises and opted out of their excessive retirement program.

As president, his plan will get us off the spiral of inflation. He will quickly get us out of the war in Iraq, out of the NAFTA trade agreement, and actually put an end to illegal immigration.

For more information call 888-828-PAUL. That's 888-828-PAUL. Thank you and God bless."


A disclaimer in a different male voice then says, "Authorized and paid for by Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee."

The phone number in the call is listed on the Paul campaign site.

The call recipient, Hillary Clinton supporter Sarah Poisel, said she was maddened more than she was persuaded by the call. "I know people can do it," she said of changing parties, "but it shouldn't be encouraged."

"Some Democrats might not think he's a real Republican, but with the Democratic race as close as it is, they shouldn't waste their votes on a Republican who's not going to win," said Poisel.
