text: should political robo-calls be illegal? one woman received so many republican robo-calls she could use her own phone.  other people received robo-calls pretending initially to be democrats at 11 pm at night. only at the very end of the robo-call does it identify itself as having been sent by the republicans. the idea is to infuriate voters with late-night harrassing calls and make them think the democrats are behind it.  all of this abuse makes me think political robo-calls in general should be banned.  what do you think?  source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/06/ar2006110601103_pf.html they should be banned  and legal action should be taken against them
