The phone message is stupid because it’s counter-productive. Those who oppose illegal immigration need to get a clue and realize that the correct way to do things is to discredit people who support illegal immigration. Just leaving comments here isn’t going to do much good. You have to either get out there and ask politicians real questions (not rants), or you need to go to other sites and leave comments discrediting those on the other side.
For a tangible example, see my comments (”NoMoreBlatherDotCom”) here:

If you want to have an impact, do things like that. If you just want to preach to the choir, do things like the VFW did.
It is an answering machine, not an “activist” machine.
It answers phone calls with a canned message. It cannot go out and speak to people.
You have seen an answering machine before haven’t you?
