Shadowy 527 Behind Calls Hitting Democrats in Several States

By Paul Kiel - September 14, 2006, 8:20 PM

More signs that Bob Perry's 527 venture is a force to be dealt with this election.

The Economic Freedom Fund (EFF) is behind robo calls in at least four states; that's in addition to heavy TV ad buys and mailers (more than $500,000 worth) that the group is funding in Iowa, Georgia, and West Virginia.

In Indiana, the group's calls attacked Baron Hill, the Democratic challenger to Rep. Mike Sodrel (R-IN). You can listen to an audio of the call here (courtesy of Taking Down Words), as captured by an Indiana man who makes it a practice to record calls from telemarketers. Indiana law bans automated phone calls, and Indiana's Attorney General says he'll investigate the case.

The caller begins by identifying himself as from "Data Research" with a "45 second public survey," and then launches in to a number of leading questions. At one point, the robo voice inquires, "Baron Hill voted to allow the sale of a broad range of violent and sexually explicit material to minors. Does knowing this make you less likely for Baron Hill?"

We Are Marching -- Permit or No Permit

The NYPD is refusing to allow us to hold a peace march anywhere near the United Nations

on Tuesday, Sept. 19, when President Bush will be speaking.

We are marching anyway, standing up against this war and for our right to dissent.

We need your support!

* If you can participate in this peaceful civil disobedience action,

call our office at 212-868-5545 so we can give you information about nonviolence trainings.

* We are also seeking a permit for a legal rally in Herald Square on Tuesday morning,
which everyone can participate in without risking arrest.

Check our website for details and plan to join us if you possibly can!

* Forward this message far and wide.

* We need volunteers! If you are in the NYC area, and can spare a few hours helping us

spread the word this weekend, please call 212-868-5545 and ask for Nia.

* Support our work to end the war and defend the right to protest by making a financial donation to UFPJ.


On Tuesday, Sept. 19, President Bush will be speaking at the United Nations
as part of an election-year public-relations push on his disastrous Iraq War.

The New York City Police Department has refused to grant a permit
to United for Peace and Justice to march anywhere near the United Nations.

Based on feedback from our member groups and supporters, we have come to a decision:

We are marching anyway. Permit or no permit,

We will stand up against this immoral war and for our right to dissent.

While the Bush Administration has pursued its belligerent policy of preemptive war abroad,
attacking a country that posed no danger to us, our Constitutional rights have been steadily
eroded here at home, with peaceful protesters treated as security threats.
In New York City, the NYPD and other agencies have systematically declared one location
after another off-limits to protest --
no rallies in most of Central Park, no marches on Fifth Avenue, no pickets in Times Square, and so on endlessly.

We know there are serious security issues to consider when the president
and other heads of state are in town.
But those needs must be balanced against protecting the right to assemble,
the right to protest, and the right to dissent.
The NYPD said no to every alternative we put on the table and simply refused
to give us a permit for a reasonable location for our march next Tuesday.

Enough is enough. We are marching -- marching to demand that the troops come home now,
and to assert our right to peaceful protest.
Marching without a permit amounts to nonviolent civil disobedience, and those of us
who participate in the march on Tuesday will place ourselves at risk of arrest.

We also know and respect the fact that many people cannot participate in an activity
that does not have a permit.
And so we are seeking a permit for a rally starting at 8:30 a.m. in Herald Square,
one of the busiest locations in Manhattan.
This will enable anyone who wishes to protest the war and the restriction
of our civil liberties to join us without risking arrest.

There are important details to work out, but this we know for certain:
we will not be silenced, we will call for an immediate end to the war in Iraq,
and we will be on the streets of New York City on Tuesday, September 19th!

WE NEED YOUR HELP:
1) Please share this email message as widely as possible.
Help make sure that everyone knows about the rally and march on Sept. 19th
and the denial of our request for a march permit.

2) Especially if you are in the NYC area, make plans now to join us next Tuesday morning.
If you would like to participate in the march, please take a moment to call our office
at 212-868-5545 so we can give you information about nonviolence trainings.
We would rather take this risk than allow our rights to be undermined.

3) Check the UFPJ website for updates on the details for Sept. 19th, including the exact
time and location of the rally and the plans for the march.
If you are looking for or would like to offer a ride to NYC, please visit our ride board.

It's vigilance like this that helps avert Rove terror attacks before they hit.

9. Indianians!!!!!!!!!!!????????

Ok I grew up in Indiana and unless things really really changed this word alone will make it obvious to all HOOSIERS that this is from an out of state group. I assume that could cause some back lash - beyond the fact that it is illegal.

Does "Indianian" sound as foreign to other people with any connection to the state.
