Sands files complaint with commissioner of political practices
Republicans, furious about negative campaign phone calls made by Democrats last week in Billings, did everything but label the tactic un-American.
Turns out, they could have.
The calls were made from Romania, according to phone records submitted this week to the state commissioner of political practices.
Jack Sands, a GOP candidate in Senate District 27 and the target of the Oct. 12 calls, filed the complaint alleging that the people making the calls didn't identify who they were calling for. Senate District 27 includes parts of Billings and Yellowstone County. State law prohibits anonymous election material.

Sands hired a detective, Dale Mortensen, to trace the origin of the calls. Mortensen worked with voter Echo Jamieson, who got Bresnan Communications to release its log of incoming and outgoing calls related to her account. The 406-000-0000 calls, of which Jamieson received six in four hours, originated in Romania, according to Bresnan.
Smells like Soros...
Damn! That takes a lot of gall! To send harrassing calls from Romania in the name of Obama.
Just Soros-paid Romanians doing the job of hating America that Americans won’t do....
Probably a bunch of Gypsies on Cell phones made the calls, gypsies, tramps and thieves.
Well, they get the dead to vote here, but they need Romania to get the living dead to make phone calls /cue Bela Lugosi

That would be an illegal foreign contribution in this political campaign.
Shut down the FEC. They do a horrible job of preventing illegal support, investigating voter intimidation, investigating fraudulent registration.
Just shut them down.
