I called the toll free number and reached Senator Bill Nelson(D)'s office. They took the # to look into. They didn't ask me for MY ZIP CODE.
Next, I called my congressman for an alert should the Senate try to use these calls to prove overwhelming support for the bill when the callers are foreigners, not constituents. They took the #.
Last, I called Mel Martinez' DC 202 number. They knew the most about the "hotline". 1. By law, said cannot forbid the calls. 2. said didn't know the group (so it is a group). 3. MM's office does not count calls without a ZIP CODE (but that can be faked).
Do your Senators ask for your zip code? Anyway, I asked my house member for investigation. For all we know, the foreigners have zip code directories to fool the Senate. If they do, an FCC investigation is in order. The calls are then fraudulent.
If your Senators do not ask for YOUR ZIP CODE, the big press conference they will do after Memorial Day will be foreign calls and American calls. They have no way to tell where the foreign calls are coming from. Foreigners are NOT AMERICANS. They are not constituents and that is the bottom line. Please pass this along.
Mel Martinez’s office stated that they “had no way” to tell where the toll calls were coming from and MM is one of the drafters of this bad bill.
When I called Webb and Warner (of Virginia) and RNC, they did not ask for my zip code.
