I'm tempted to say "Thank God it isn't like that over here", but just give it another five to ten years.

FCC rules say all prerecorded messages must "at the beginning of the message, state clearly the identity of the business, individual, or other entity that is responsible for initiating the call." During or after the message, they must give the telephone number of the caller.

"The way they're sent is deceptive. The number of calls is harassing. The way her stances are presented in these stories is deliberately misleading and deceptive," said Karlyn Messinger, another Murphy supporter from Penn Valley, Pa., who filed a complaint with the FCC.

So, in other words, people who are running to be elected as law-makers are circumventing the law in order to achieve this goal. Interesting....
