Senator warns of 'robo-calls'
HARRISBURG - A Washington, D.C., lobbying organization has been inundating the 27th Senatorial District with computer generated "robo-calls" in support of a school voucher bill currently before the General Assembly in Harrisburg, according to Sen. John R. Gordner (R-27). Gordner emphasizes that the robo-calls are not originating from his office.
"Over the past week, numerous constituents have complained about the daily calls, and some have even thought the calls were generated by my office," said Gordner. "While I welcome constituent input, especially on important issues such as this, I do not initiate robo-calls from my office."
Gordner encourages all constituents to call or write to his offices directly on any issue, or utilize his website at www.senatorgordner.com to submit comments.
