Attorney General Drew Edmondson orders Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign to stop making prerecoded automated political telephone calls to Oklahomans that don't comply with federal law.
Edmondson's action was a response to a complaint filed today by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign about so-called "robocalls" allegedly made by McCain's campaign to many Oklahomans in recent days.The two candidates are among a slate of Republican and Democratic hopefuls campaigning in Oklahoma and 21 other states in presidential preference primaries tomorrow.
A letter to Edmondson from Romney campaign officials said Oklahoma residents had reported that the McCain campaign calls don't provide a telephone number for the originating entity at any time during the call as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
"Robo-callers" must provide a telephone number so that Oklahoma residents can contact the source of the call and demand to be removed from call lists.
