Shortly before 9 PM today, Saturday, October 18, I received an Obama robo-call from someone claiming to be a plumber in Fairfax. I wasn't able to catch his name. Has anyone else heard this? I'm curious to know who this person is.
Moreover, these calls are already annoying, but to get one at that hour of the evening when I'm trying to get the kids down to sleep is extremely irksome.
The # was (804) 431 5001.
Better yet, put the phone on speaker setting, then turn on the TV, loudly tuned to Fox News or some conservative radio host. Or proceed to have a loud conversation with your spouse or an imaginary friend, discussing the Obama/Ayers connection, the Obama/Odinga connection, the Obama/ACORN connection, etc etc.
Very interesting, when combined with this: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/reportsmears
Report Negative Mailings and Phone Calls
The McCain campaign has orchestrated a vicious “robocall” and direct mail smear campaign against Barack.
Fight the Smears is an online resource to help correct the record. More frequently now, Fight the Smears addresses the baseless accusations from John McCain’s 100% negative campaign.
You can help fight back by reporting one or more of the smears they are spreading.
Report smear literature — Create a digital copy
There are three ways to create a copy. Once the copy is created, upload it using the form to the right.
1.
If you have a computer scanner, you can scan the mail piece to create a digital copy on your computer. Then upload the file using the form to the right.
2.
Go to a nearby print shop to scan the mailing. They should be able to email you the digital versions of the mailings or put them on a CD or USB drive.
The UPS Store, FedEx, or any major office supplies store should be able to create a digital copy.
3.
Take a picture with a digital camera.
Set your camera to its highest quality setting and take the photo in good lighting — preferably outside in the daytime or with a flash.
Notify the campaign of “Robocall” smears
1.
If you can create a recording of the automated phone call on your computer in .mp3 format, you can upload it directly using the form to the right.
2.
If you have a recording of the negative phone call (on an answering machine or other device), you can report the call over the phone. Call 312-506-8685 and then replay the attack message into the receiver of the phone.
Before you play the message into the phone, be sure to clearly state your name, location and phone number so that the campaign can reach you with any questions.

I really have to wonder what they are up to on this one.
I got the same call but the callwer ID Number was 804-318-5001. More than one Joe the Plumber?
Sorry, you’re right, I don’t know how I made that typo, it was (804) 318 5001.
“robo-call from “Campaign for Change” (give them a call at 804-318-5001, just be sure to leave a message) that featured an elderly woman reading from a very wordy script about how this was all just a devious attempt to deflect attention from the failed Bush policies, blah, blah, blah”
Obama wants us all to bend over so he can do a plumbing job, so to speak.
