The Wendy Davis campaign needs your help to push back against misleading robocalls!
Dirty Tricksters In Texas Target Wendy Davis
The Wendy Davis campaign has issued an SOS regarding dirty robocalls being made in Texas. The campaign sent this out to supporters yesterday:
Dear Friends,
We have received a number of reports that an entity has been making robo-calls to our supporters in attempt to solicit donations. The call begins with an audio of a woman [whom callers are led to believe is Senator Davis] and continues with giving callers an option to press 1 to continue hearing the message. Some of these calls have reportedly made solicitations for campaign contributions or simply rang endlessly.
These calls are not from the Wendy Davis campaign nor from anyone affiliated with our campaign. If you receive any of these fraudulent calls, please transcribe as much information as you can from the call, note the caller and number from the caller ID and send us an e-mail to info@wendydavistexas.com.
We are tracking these calls and are continuing to alert our supporters of this deviance.
Thank you again for your support.
Snip........
My guess is that the funding for the calls comes via Empower Texans, a group connected with Texas oil interests and James Leininger, an ultra-right wing billionaire who functions as sugar daddy for the religious righties in Texas.
