Anyone else get the new robocall from Cruz?

It is actually from "Restore America's Voice PAC" 202-817-2894.


This one may be the craziest ever. I wish I recorded it. He is still beating the "kill Obamacare" dead horse and asking for money to do it. He goes after Rep. King (R-NY) as a Liberal and accuses him of calling Cruz a terrorist (paraphrased), among other things.



I had to go ahead and get to an operator just so I could laugh and tell her that this was hilarious and that there was no way I would donate to repeal Obamacare, that the fight was over.

I was nice about it and told her that I understood she was just doing her job, she was nice and told me to have a nice day as she hurried me off the phone. Even so.. this was almost unbelievable.


Are there still Teabaggers out there falling for this con artist's game?

Talk about a fool and his money being soon parted!

The only reason I even answered was because it was a local number.

i called back to try and get the same message, but that didn't happen.


I think that if you ever called them then they automatically have your number and you get robocalled.

I am sure that is what happened to me. I decided to call some months ago just to try and tie up a line on them for a while. Now I am on their list.

I think it is funny. There used to be a service that you could call for a new joke every day. Now the jokes call you. What A Country!

And just went off about how I love Obamacare and Satan and all this other stuff. Maybe that's where they got my number.

I am a night worker and if I am awakened by a Carnival Cruz robocall I just may trash my phone. Last time I received a repuke robocall it was from some rich asshole rancher reminding me to vote for him, adding how much he detested the "homosexual agenda" - it angered me so much I got dressed and headed to the library to vote against against his homophobic ass
