“Hello. I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country. This call was paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee at 202-863-8500.”

Here is the robocall’s full audio.

This is just one of the thousands of Political Robocalls from both parties that have been flooding phone lines in battleground states. According to a recent report by CNN, some voters are receiving as many as a dozen automated calls per day.

Some states, like Maine, are cracking down, claiming this is a violation of personal privacy.

According to Wikipedia, even those who have opted into the National Do Not Call Registry may still receive these calls, as political parties are exempt from the rules set forth during the formation of this registry.

Are these calls really effective, and why should we have to put up with this violation of our personal privacy?
