Stop Robo Calls

Robo Calls are annoying and the are perfectly legal. Even if you signed up for the Colorado and National Do Not Call list politicians and their proxies can still Robo Call your cell phone. What can you do?

1. If you get a Robo Call hang up and try to call the number back and voice your disapproval. Sometime you get a live person and sometimes you can leave a message.
2. Contact your state representative. In Colorado you can try this link: http://comaps.org/allsearch_old.html
3. Contact the DNC and RNC and voice your disapproval

I'm all for free speech but it stops with my phone.

Why Will the Government Shut Down?

Culture Wars. Here is a partial list of the riders attached to the funding extension:

• Prohibits the Federal Reserve from transferring more than $80 million to the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. Basically killing the program
• Prohibits funding for the EPA to change a rule regulating water. Can you say arsenic in the water?
• Prohibits the District of Columbia from using its own, non-federal funds to pay for abortions beyond the very limited circumstances in which federal funds are currently available (in circumstances of rape or incest and to save the life of a pregnant woman). Really?
• Prohibits funds to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., or any of its affiliates.
• Prohibits funding for needle-exchange programs.
• Prohibits the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from collecting information on multiple sales of rifles or shotguns to the same person. Preparing for the revolution are we?
• Prohibits funding for the Sustainable Communities Initiative. Who cares about sustainability? Fuck it.
• Blocks funds for the Federal Communications Commission to institute Net Neutrality rules. Because Comcast has your best interests at heart...
• Prohibits Recovery Act funds for signage. Now that's just douchey
