Anyone else getting NONSTOP Unsolicited phone calls from these idiots?
These morons are clearly violating the Federal DNC Law (calling me with Anti-Republican Auto-Dialer phone calls all day and night. I'm neither a Rep or a Dem.), as well as 18 U.S. Code § 241 AND 42 U.S. Code § 1985 for the Conspiracy Against Rights law. Will be filing a complaint against with with the BBB, the FCC and their State Attorney General. The unsolicited incoming calls are clearly smear campaign calls against one of our local politicians here in Louisiana. I wonder if they are committing the crime of Slander and Libel (Defamation) with these calls?

Ironically, Accountable America's message consists of a harangue against my congressman, who ALSO is guilty of making illegal robocalls to cell phones. So there is no sense blaming liberals or conservatives here, they all do it and all of them should be taught a lesson.
Guess it's time to speak to my attorney in regards to this rogue political outfit.
You're clearly wrong, as I should NOT be getting these phone calls. They are also breaking the law in various ways, but then they are trying to hide behind a law that was designed to protect us from such calls.
To respond to your personal attacks against my educational capacity;
I'll be happy to inform you that I DID in fact pay attention in High School and graduated 2nd in my class. I then went on to attend two Louisiana Universities, and obtain 2 Bachelor's Degrees, and I am currently working on obtaining my Masters Degree after a hiatus.
Can you say the same?
It's quite clear that you sir/madam are the one who needs to re-attend school with your childish personal attacks.
I'm merely postulating here, but are you a Registered Democrat?

So your organization was finally forced to include an Opt-Out on your website? FINALLY! REMOVE MY NUMBER IMMEDIATELY!
* Your "machines" have been calling our home at all hours of the day AND night - which is Illegal!
* The calls offer NO "Opt-Out" options - which is Illegal!
* They are Pre-Recorded messages - which is Illegal!
* They are made using Auto-Dialers - which is Illegal!
* You are Spoofing your Caller ID Name and Number - which is also Illegal!
* Your calls are clearly an act of Defamation, as well as - 8 U.S. Code § 241 AND 42 U.S. Code § 1985 for the Conspiracy Against Rights Law.
Yet, you have the gall to call me to complain about our local (Louisiana) Republican Congressman Joseph Cao, who SUPPOSEDLY didn't vote for the way you wanted? Are you serious? o_O
They have a word for people like those in your organization - Hypocrites.
Your calls have also claimed that he SUPPOSEDLY visited and supports a Gay Nightclub? Seriously, ask me if I care. I live in New Orleans, and we have people of all walks of life, races, political parties, sexual preferences, religions, etc. I don't give a damn if he visited or supports a Gay Nightclub. The real question is; Why do you?
Even your beloved "Savior" President has been accused of having Gay relationships with Larry Sinclair. Should I just take those claims at face value, like you did with Mr Cao?
I guess it's OK for your Democratic organization to blatantly break the Law, but it's not OK for anyone else? The term Hypocrites definitely applies here.
They are CLEARLY violating Federal IRS Laws pertaining to the use and registering of a 501(c)(3) organization.

Exemption Requirements - Section 501(c)(3) Organizations
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may NOT be an Action Organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.
The organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, and no part of a section 501(c)(3) organization's net earnings may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. If the organization engages in an excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial influence over the organization, an excise tax may be imposed on the person and any organization managers agreeing to the transaction.
Section 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues.
A lot of people don't realize that all non-emergency robocalls to cell/wireless phones are strictly illegal unless you have given prior consent for them to call. Most telemarketers, bill collectors, and political groups are very careful to scrub their databases to avoid calling cell phones unless they are using live agents. This is where A.A. is breaking the law and is going to wind up in some serious trouble. The penalties are steep: $500 per call, which is potentially tripled if proven that they are willfully or knowingly violating the law (which seems likely). Anyone who gets one of these robocalls on a cell phone should note the date and time and (if possible) save a recorded copy of the message. As I have said before, I would not be surprised to see a class action lawsuit, and if that happens you may need this information to take part in the recovery. Or, if you get more than two or three of these calls, it might be worthwhile to take action on your own.
Only your phone number is required to complete the form.
Issue advocacy phone calls are exempt from the federal Do Not Call List requirements however Accountable America voluntarily observes them.
Accountable America does not call cell phones.
