"Right to Life Crusade" phone survey
OK, this kind of crap pisses me off. I just got a phone call from some animated voice telling me it was taking a survey on the abortion issue. Normally I hang up on phone surveys but desperately wanted to answer this one.

So, choice one - if you support the right to life (misleading from the start) press 1. If you support the right to abortion, press 9. I pressed 9 (probably goes without saying).

And what do I hear after I press 9 - I support the right to abortion? I hear "Thank you for supporting the right to life yada yada yada". Now I'm f'n pissed so I try to dial the operator and again I hear "Thank you for your support yada yada yada".

I look them up on the web to send a scathing email giving them a piece of my mind (which is both inebriated and infuriated at this point) and I can't find them.

So I'm both asking for advice as to who to contact and trying to get the word out about this bogus frickin' poll. All advice welcome.

PS - mods - I'm cross posting this because I'm frickin' livid and want to get this in front of as many DUers as possible. Delete if you wish but I'd rather you not.

1. They're
probably looking for supporters by phone number. By pushing a choice you did help them out.

That was their survey!

2. That's why I want to know if anyone has suggestions of who to contact
about this. I am so livid right now I could spit (and then some).

3. Two things:
1. try the phone company first. Do you have caller id?

2. Try to call your local pro-choice place. (go undercover--volunteer...see if they know what it is.)

4. Thanks.
(Although I presume that meant go undercover at a pro-"life" place...)

PS - I don't have caller id or I would have been jamming them already. ;)
