Does anyone know Who CFL uses to make phone calls on their behalf?

[Lord Xar]

Does anyone know if CFL uses a third party vendor to make the phone calls for them?

I received a phone call from CFL and the person did put me thru to a recorded phone message but before I speak further, I'd like to know "who" was calling me in relation was it an actual supporter OR outsourced?

Let me know if you can.

They hired a call center

 

[Lord Xar]

ok. that is not good. The person that called me barely spoke proper english. Sounded like he literally had a 6th grade education. arghhhhh.

Dean, if you let me know what your last name is and what state you're from, I can contact the director of the call center to let him know about your experience with the operator, and he would be able to identify exactly who the operator was that called you and track if there have been any other complaints about that operator.

well, the guy was nice, he just sounded well .. like English is his second language but not in that good way. Like he literally was uneducated. I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Though I think you could see if those calls are generating any donations or if you are getting alot of hangups etc... I was slightly putoff and I am a HUGE RON PAUL guy. lol.

My experience was fine...got the call last night (Houston, TX). The caller sounded like a young American woman.

Was the number (202) 730-9944?

Two days in a row I got a call and kept saying hello, I could hear the call center in the background and then they hang up. I searched the number on the web and found other people saying they were getting hang-ups from Campaign for Liberty at that number.

I called a friends who also got a hang up on his answering machine from that same number.

Incompetence or sabotage? Has someone reported the call center problems to CFL?

Yes, that was the #.

Good information for CFL

I got a call today.. they put me through to the recorded message (lasted several minutes). The whole thing was fine, but the recorded message was long and didn't really tell me much.

Can someone tell me what they said they'd do with my money? Other than pay their own salaries and keep the lights on..

They should have learned from grassroots. If someone here set up a chip-in and said they were going to "spread the message" and didn't give any details they wouldn't get much. But we've seen time and again that donations pour in when there's a concrete goal (tv ads for a certain city, a blimp, billboards for a certain city, signs for a region, re-election to Congress, etc).

I got my call last night. Part of Tate's recording was repeated. I can't remember the exact verbiage, but if I saw a transcript I could pick it out. Somewhere around the bailouts and it being hard to know who to trust any more.

 

[Mandrik]

I got the call on Tuesday. I could tell right away it was someone reading a script, but that's ok. I just listened to the message and asked them to mail me the stuff.

 

[Mani]

They called me last night...The call was a bit long and I was in the middle of an appt.

I tried to ask "how long is the message?" but they transferred me before they heard me. I listened to 5-6 minutes but then I had to go and I didn't get to hear the rest of it.

It talked about needing support and what's wrong with Washington, but I didn't hear specifics, it was general.

Was there a concrete goal or something?

Same here.

Ron Paul is a really great, and honest man. He is, however, unable to discern between good work and bad work. Everything i have ever gotten from his office or his campaign has been pretty pretty pretty bad.

I got the call, same story. Mumbles Mcgee asked me if i wanted to listen to something- I said sure. And halfway through I got bored.

Can anyone tell me why the CFL is acting like a PAC from the 1980s? They should be tearing up facebook- making facebook apps that have broadbased anti-authority, anti-government appeal. Young people between the ages of 16-28 REALLY REALLY go for that sort of thing if done right.

But, Robocalls.

Its so annoying. Ron Paul's job is to be a statesman and a thinker. He does that very well. C4L's job is to communicate that message and they fail hard.

my caller was a gap tooth ghettoid with a 4th grade edumacation who was struggling to read the script. She was not impolite, but I wasn't exactly filled with confidence. I didn't have time to listen to the message, and they keep calling. I won't answer again.

this particular 'campaign' is not a good idea, IMO. CFL needs to DO something with the part of my money that they ALREADY have before asking me for more. Doing nothing but spending my money on illiterates to call me 10 times to ask me for more money is a bad strategy.

These same illiterates probably voted for Obama therefore possibly another reason they just call and hang up. Whom ever is supervising them probably thinks they are doing a good job based on the call log shows calls are being made.

If not that some technical, incompetence or just plain lazy problem they are having.

Mine seemed the same. I wasn't pleased. Now, granted others have heard from well spoken inviduals, but mine seemed to be speaking from a script and it like he was having a hard time reading it or he was a product of the Los Angeles school system. Ghetto'ish or Barroish... wasn't sure.

I am with the other poster... why aren't these things "checked" out.. first. Also, if they are hanging up, that is friggin annoying. they can say they called (a receiver is picked up), but just hang up - call is logged. I am sure they don't have a timer going.

 

[MRoCkEd]

If they're going to robocall, they should at least keep the message to 1-2 minutes and straight to the point

 

[nayjevin]

mine was nice until I asked, 'are you at the Campaign for Liberty offices or are you a 3rd party?'

'3rd party'

'okay, I would like the survey, but any donation I make will be directly through the CFL site. Do you have a way to give them feedback'

'no'

then she tried to verify my address - it is 2 years old and I've never entered it into CFL's website.

so I contacted CFL just in case it wasn't them calling - and this is the response I received:

Hello, we received your message regarding the robo-call you received. Campaign for Liberty has contracted with a company to manage robo-calls to the thousands of Campaign for Liberty members, so you did receive a legitimate call.
Thank you for your question!
