Jennifer Kim Campaign Behind Anonymous Robocalls in Place 3 Raceby: Karl-Thomas MusselmanFri May 02, 2008 at 05:29 PM CDT |
| Early I posted about apparent anonymous robocalls in the Austin City Council Place 3 race between Jennifer Kim and Randi Shade (oh, and Ken Weiss).
Well, it appears they may not so anonymous after all and indeed are from the Jennifer Kim campaign. The number used to call has been previously identified as one used for Kim autocalls. The issue now- is "Lisa" enough of a disclaimer for the Kim campaign to not be breaking the law? (Ironic given yesterday's 'ethics' hullabaloo?) Jeff Crosby points this out in the comments on the prior post. It's against state law (Texas PUC Regulations). Robo calls that fail to properly identify the caller within the first 30 seconds of the call are illegal. And for those not convinced this is from the Kim campaign, two scans of the latest attack mail from her campaign are below the fold. The messaging is the same. |
