There have been estimates of as high as 1.4 million foreclosures in this country in recent months. That represents an estimated 900,000 or more voters who have been moved from their residence. That’s 900,000 new voter registrations if they all re-register to vote from their new residence. Or, that’s hundreds of thousands of voters who will not bother to re-register and who will be stopped from voting or challenged when they do get to the polls. Every registered voter needs to check to ensure their registration is up to date and then do it again later this year before their state voter registration deadline. Make sure you are not scrubbed from the rolls and don’t know it until you go to vote on election day….

I almost broke my neck running to catch our phone 2x today only to have someone (first a woman, then a male) ask to speak to my son. When I inquired who was calling (as we’re on the “do not call list) they said it was a GRA polling…or with more questions, the “God Requests Answers” party…..is this legal? with the DoNotCsall listing? Or is it an attempt to hassle people enrolled as Independents? (They did not want to poll me as I’m registered Democratic) Or some phoney checking call?
Anyone know?

I think there is an exemption from the “do not call” list for political polls and campaigns. However, I can find nothing about GRA or “God Requests Answers” so they are probably not a registered group and their calls may be illegal.
File a complaint with the Do Not Call Registry

Thanks John!
I just filed a complaint, They’re probably a bogus group. My son remembers a similar group calling themselves “GRA” but he remembered it as “God deseRving Answers”….from the 2004 election. Turned out they were a group checking registrations and addresses.

What state are you in? This may be a vote caging scheme that needs to be publicized.
