Liberty Threatened
A little Subterfuge from the Left. A liberal lobbyist has found a new way to try to get the Health Insurance Reform legislation passed. An 800 number is freely distributed over the internet (1-800-828-0498). If you use this to “call your congressman” or “call congress” as is widely distributed by the lobbyist … you will first get a recording that asks you to be sure to ask your Senator or Representative to vote for Health Insurance Reform, and do it before it is too late. Then the phone rings you through to the switchboard operator that connects you to your Senator or Congressman. Call it … you can “hang up” when it starts to ring through to the switchboard so you don’t have to talk.
If you “Google” 1-800-828-0498 you will get links like the following:

The lobbyist doing this is doing it for many liberal causes. When you do the Google search, you’ll see many of those causes listed. The way these are listed, it makes it look like you are actually calling the Congressional Switchboard … which is actually at 1-202-224-3121.
From NFRA: When you see the words: “Call your legislators today!” followed by a phone number, what do you think? You think – this number calls my Congressman. And when it eventually connects to the Capitol, you think again, I’ve called my government – because you have. So knowing that, you know it is wrong and mis-leading to make people using that number to listen to a recorded message that tells them to urge their Congressman to vote yes on healthcare reform. Why? Because you know that message sounds like it is coming from the government – our government. There is nothing there that indicates in any way that you the caller is being used and abused by partisan lobbyists. (Read More at NFRA)
Bottom Line: This is simple (and typical) left wing subterfuge. Why are these things always found on the “left” side of the spectrum. On that same Google Search, you’ll find this one:

The conservatives tend to use the truth, the liberals tend to use subterfuge. Why is that?
