[...] many, MANY requests to not be called, Ron Paul’s campaign for liberty didn’t care. The best way to show me you believe in government not harassing its people is to stop harassing me. I finally got the calls to stop with a certified, return-receipt letter and a threat of legal [...]

“Joe Nunya.” As a personal note, I truly become amazed over people, such as “Joe Nunya” who like to talk big but don’t have the fucking balls to even list their name. Sure… I’m the dirtbag for being upset at getting calls at 6 in the morning from a company who I’ve asked to stop calling me. It’s me, not the piece of worthless shit company that won’t stop harassing me, that’s the dirtbag. But, once I’ve had enough of their calls, their hangups, their harassment, their continued ignorance of my polite requests to not receive such calls and make a threat of legal action they all of the sudden stop. So, Mr. “Nunya,” why would you say I’m a dirtbag and the company that calls me 3 times a week at all times of the day/night is perfectly an outstanding American.

An Obama supporter? You’re an idiot. A ball-less idiot. My ass, by the way, is just fat enough. I stand up and take action for liberty on a daily basis, using my real name too.

Hi “John”,

I asked them to stop calling me no less than 5 times– both written and verbal. They called me 12 times afterwards; including two calls made to me before 7am. I couldn’t get them to stop until the above action.

Guess what? No more calls.

The question to you is why couldn’t they get off their ass before I threatened them? Because they don’t care. Ron Paul wants to run for a position where the buck stops with him. If he can’t even control his phone solicitations, why should you think he can run the country?

Also, “John Doe” nice. When I post a comment, I have the cajones to use my name…

I get the calls too and find it annoying, but wow do some of you ninnies blow this out of proportion. Something’s not right if just a simple phone call a couple times a month is enough to throw you into a rage and start threatening frivolous lawsuits.

How about just don’t answer the call? Or hang up when you find out who they are? Is that really so hard?

And it is even more absurd to somehow say this changes your opinion of Ron Paul. I got news for you – every politician and political group ever builds lists of people who gave donations and contact them again later asking for another. It isn’t some kind of outrageous fuck up…it’s the way things are done.

It appears this call is from Ron Paul. He has shown us in yet another way that he isn’t who he claims to be. Anybody who understands his likely supporters would NEVER call a number they have NEVER been given. My privacy is important to me, and Ron Paul, with the claims he makes, should understand this. I don’t want to be harassed by the government, and I don’t want to be harassed by Ron Paul. This shows a basic lack of respect for the individual. I don’t give people my phone number because I do not want to be called. They had to go to some trouble to get it. If they are representing Ron Paul, the buck stops with him. Since he’s allowing it, he is responsible. Once more, Ron Paul has shown that he is a hypocrite.

I also contributed to Ron Paul in the past — but for weeks now I have been getting calls from that number/Connectme but when I pick up, there is no one there. I blocked the number on my phone but it still rings one time, enough for me to start to head for the phone. Tonight, my Caller ID shows a call at 6:32, 6:48, 7:05 and 7:21 PM — that’s 4 in an hour! Made me mad enough to file a Complaint with the FCC. I have done this before with other annoying calls and they immediately stopped. Suggest anyone still getting these call also file a complaint. esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

Thanks for the tip about demanding harassment money, it’s 9:09AM right now Sept 7 2010 and they just woke me up! I’ve asked them three times already to take me off their list and they still repeatedly call at different times of the day!! I used to follow RP back in the 2008 election so i donated 10 bux and now they harass me constantly! Ron Paul’s image have been damaged ever since the Tea Party was hijacked by ignorant racists. I will do the same as you thank you.

I am in the same exact boat as you. The CFL doesn’t do much of anything. They just seem to be an organization riding on the coat tails of RP. I have told them to stop calling because based on there website they do nothing.

Same here, they won’t stop calling even after telling them EVERY SINGLE TIME to remove my number. I will make another donation when *I’M* ready to!! I just put the number in my phonebook on my phone and now I have it automatically go to voicemail. I love Ron Paul, but this is just ridiculous!!!!

Mike, I get a ton of it… when I remember I scan it and post it here as “more propaganda crap.”

I’m experiencing the same problem, though usually I just tell them to put on the robo call and then hang up. I gave up on asking them to stop long ago.

Since this seems to be the place on the internet to talk about this, has anyone else noticed getting tons of crap mail from Republicans asking for donations?

I mean, I donate a little bit to Ron Paul (who is still an upstanding person) and all of a sudden I’m getting letters and fake surveys from Republican organizations and candidates. Seriously? I would never vote for, or donate to, any Republican other than RP.

I am pro health care reform! So here I am, getting all these letters saying, “The Evil Democrats this!” and calls from CFL saying, “The Democrats are ramming unwanted reform through reconciliation” that. This is just getting ridiculous.

I am for *good* government, no matter who runs it or what the ideas are. Not some crazy ideologue or Tea Party fool.

Sending me desperate messages like this just convinces me that these people wouldn’t be good at governing anyway. Using hyperbole and fear to appeal to voters rather than logical reasoning is a sure sign your platform is screwed.

After receiving YET ANOTHER robocall I just wrote and mailed a hardcopy asking that CFL stop calling my number.

This was my first political contribution, and if this kind of harrassment is par for the course it will be my last.

@ Victor…Nobody sold your information, they are the same source that you VOLUNTARILY gave your info to during Ron Paul’s campaign, nice stretch though. Sold?! LOL! They shouldn’t contact you after you asked them to stop but it was an honest mistake to assume you were interested in Campaign for Liberty after making a contribution to Ron Paul. The movement most certainly didn’t end after he lost the nomination, why should it? If you liked what he was about at that time, you shouldn’t just hang your hat and walk away after he doesn’t win the majority. That’s part of the problem! In that case, did you really whole heartedly support him? I don’t think that’s possible or you wouldn’t be this upset at them trying to get you to continue your participation. Sorry they were such a pain on the phone calls but asking them for money is pretty childish. I’m apart of the group and don’t feel obligated to donate, I try to be active and use the information from the organization to plant seeds of knowledge. All of this ranting seems pretty useless and a waste of good energy, if you’re REALLY looking to change things and inform others!

There’s nothing wrong with me. What’s wrong with you?

Should I be happy that they call me non-stop after asking them not to? I never donated to Campaign for Liberty either… and I don’t appreciate their calls. If Ron Paul cannot effectively delegate the management of a phone list, then what else won’t he have time for?

Please.

If you “class action them” they will be forced to use our donations for your poor little complaints instead of spreading the word.

What a waste of time and money.

Ron Paul is busy trying to educate people – I’m quite sure he doesn’t have time to manage phone lists.

What is wrong with you people?

Maybe we can get enough people and class action them.

Yeah, I’m suffering from the same harassment. I’ve repeatedly called and demanded that my number be removed from their lists. Often when I answer their calls their is no one on the other end. The few times someone does answer, they refuse to give me their names.

After reading your post I think I will proceed to a registered letter as well.

No word from them, but the calls did stop.

By: Justin

Justin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:42:16 +0000

Still no new calls from them? I am thinking about doing the same. Campaign for Liberty will not stop calling me. I have told them several times over the phone and through their website to STOP. Fuck them.
