Wakeup Call

(Fox News) - Imagine how you would feel if your phone rang at two in the morning — and it was a recorded political advertisement. About 3,000 in Westchester County outside New York City were the recipients of what are known as "robo-calls."

The Democratic challenger for a county legislator seat — Domenic Volpe — hired a Virginia-based firm to market the ads slamming Republican incumbent George Oros. But the calls were supposed to be made at two in the afternoon.

Irate residents flooded police departments, campaign headquarters for both men, and media outlets. Most are mad at Volpe — but some are upset with Oros because they hung up as soon as they heard his name and assumed the calls were from his campaign.

Democrat Volpe says he will apologize personally to all who have complained — and he will do it at a reasonable hour.
