Woohoo! Just got a call from Carol Paul from 877-RON-PAUL

[Brian Ristuccia]

I haven't received a call yet.

Regarding a few posts which asked about the capacity of autodialers: It's not uncommon for big telemarketing firms to have access to dozens of media gateways either in-house or at various telephony service providers. A DS3 media gateway can run approximately 650 calls, so most decently-equipped firms can run tens of thousands of simultaneous calls.

Nothing here yet.

Did you donate & include a (valid) phone number?

I got one on my cell phone in CA. I think they are calling registered Republicans.

I received a call on my cell phone. I am not a registered repubican. I have donated.

I think I'm beginning to see a pattern... WTF

 

[McDermit]

Did you donate & include a (valid) phone number?

Yep. They have my home and cell number.

But I'm maxed out. Maybe they're only calling those who can donate more? My mom and ex haven't gotten calls yet either.. both maxed.

Has anyone that's maxed out gotten a call yet?

 

[superlou]

Yes, I have donated. Also, I just changed to Republican from Democrat about a week and a half ago, which doesn't give much time for the lists to update if they were calling registered Republicans. I gave the same number to RP2008.com and to the voter registration.

Just read through the full thread. It seems likely that it is the donaters getting called and not registered voters.

Same for me, my god how many people have to say the same thing?

We should find out why this is happening... if it's a test run, then fine - but i'd like to know.. if they've screwed up and aren't aware, then they should be told.. either way, we need to find out from HQ.. I called once, could someone else please call?

 

[mport1]

bump, what is the deal?

 

[Indy Vidual]

Great idea for promotion.

 

[brumans]

They called me also.. I am in Michigan.

They called my cell phone actually... which is not listed anywhere.
I am also not affiliated with any party whatsoever (and even if I was I would of used my home phone number).

I only entered my cell phone number when I donated. They must of gotten my number because I donated... that's the only possible way.

 

[unklejman]

did you coworker donate? Or register with the campaign?

Yes we both have donated. I have registered with the campaign, not sure about him.

 

[alien]

Got one in Texas too. And yes I have donated so I would like to know why and who they are calling also.

 

[ionlyknowy]

I think at this point it is quite apparent that they are calling people that donated.


Now if that is the only people that they are calling, who knows....

But these are my suspicions..

If they were not calling just donators today, then that would mean that they would have had to have contacted everyone in the US today, which is very unlikely.

People from all of the US that donated were contacted today.

It is very feasible for them to call 40,000 people... They need to contact people that havent donated....

 

[misconstrued]

Calling people who have donated isn't a bad idea. May get them feel good for donating and they may donate more.

Got the call to my unlisted cell today. I have donated. Live in MKE, WI
