Phone calls in the Coleen Rowley race telling folks they can only vote for her during limited hours!

[flpoljunkie]

(John Kline must be worried. The NRCC is evidently pulling out all the stops to try and hold the House with these phone calls, robo calls, and flliers.Yet, there is very little mention of this by the cable talking heads. MSNBC's John Schuster is the only one whose done a report on it that I've seen.)

Don't let John Kline mislead older voters to keep them from voting on Tuesday!

OLDER VOTERS ARE BEING MISLED BY PHONE CALLS TELLING THEM THEY CAN ONLY VOTE FOR COLEEN AT LIMITED POLLING SITES DURING LIMITED HOURS!

DON'T LET JOHN KLINE GET AWAY WITH MISLEADING OUR OLDER VOTERS! CALL ANY ELDERS YOU KNOW IN THE DISTRICT AND TELL THEM: "DON'T BELIEVE THOSE PHONE CALLS!"

THESE CALLS ARE BEING MADE FROM CELL PHONE NUMBERS ON THE EAST COAST. THEY ARE NOT SAYING WHO THEY REPRESENT WHEN THEY CALL.
PROTECT THE VOTING RIGHTS OF EVERY VOTER IN MINNESOTA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT!

Report any misleading phone calls you receive:

Ask who is calling and ask for a number they can be called back at. Ask who they are calling on behalf of. Ask who they are being paid by, or if they say they are not being paid, who asked them to make the call. Make a note of those responses and call our Campaign Headquarters at [phone].

1. these fucking pukes can't win on who is the better candidate,

or who the voters want--they have to do all this dirty little shit like push polls, whisper campaigns, these fucking robo calls, and rigging the machines.

they know they couldn't win otherwise.

and hopefully--this time--none of that will matter and they won't win.

2. We need Rowley in the Dem congressional committee huddle.

3. So this is the October Surprise Rove spoke of...

as I said, the only way they can win is like this it seems. And the only way to curb that is to make sure we have a Democratic Congress and effect election reform. Such fraud as this should be treason, punishable with a minimum of 5 years in prison and as much as 20.

4. They're illegally robocalling against a retired FBI whistleblowing lawyer?

Just how stupid are these people?

5. John Kline is crooked hell, I am sad to admit that he is my Congressman

I live in the Second and John Kline calls himself my representative, but he does not represent me and these dirty campaign tactics prove that. This is a pretty red district, but if Coleen Rowley would have had more money she could probably win it. As it is she has been outspent by a very large margin so she faces an uphill battle. This type of move shows desperation on Kline's part though so that is encouraging in a sense, but I sure as hell hope he is held accountable for these calls which are very likely illegal.

6. After reading this, I called WCCO television

to ask if they were going to do any stories on this.

I spoke to a real nice guy who seemed very interested and ended our conversation by saying "Kessler is right here - I'm taking this to him."

Maybe they'll report on it maybe not, but at least I tried.

7. If I were Election Czarina,

any candidate whose campaign pulled dirty tricks like that would automatically forfeit the election, no ifs, ands, or buts.
