Political calls prompt lawsuit

The News and Tribune - Political calls prompt lawsuit:
"The man who bankrolled the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential election is now funding a political action committee that’s finding itself in trouble with the law because of automated phone calls.

The Economic Freedom Fund, a Sacramento, Calif.-based political 527, or tax-exempt group, has been using an automated dialing system to contact voters in Indiana’s 9th District, disparaging Democratic congressional candidate Baron Hill.

Using an automated dialing system to contact Hoosiers is against state law, said Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter. Carter held a press conference in Jeffersonville on Monday to announce that he’s filed a lawsuit against the Economic Freedom Fund."
