A New Twist In “Hold Messages”

According to Newsbusters today, when you call the Capital Hill switchboard, you get an interesting message while you are waiting to be put through to the operator.  If you follow the link to the article, you can hear the audio of the message, but here is the transcript:

“Thank you for calling your Representative and your Senators.

“Please urge them to vote yes on health insurance reform. Because the American people can no longer wait for more choices, lower costs, and coverage we can count on.”

This should be illegal.  Somehow I suspect it will be overlooked in the news today.
