Robo Call about Manzullo

It is no surprise to any political figure that if one waits for local newspapers to tell constituents what one want them to hear, one will wait for a very long time, if not forever.

No more will papers print press releases from politicians.

They may not even think the subject an elected official thinks is important merits an inch of space.

Here at McHenry County Blog, we are happy to print politicians’ press releases. I can assure you they are read, not only the day they are printed, but previously published press releases are regularly accessed by our 2,000+ daily readers.

So, McHenry County Blog is something of a historical document for what elected officials and those seeking election want (and sometimes don’t want) people to read.

Friday, I thought 16th District Congressman Don Manzullo tried a new technique to contact constituents.

A friend told me he got a robo-call from Manzullo. It was about AIG.

That made sense to me, since I had received a press release on the subject from him.

That press release was about how he was doing in Thursday’s meeting of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets.

I was told that the woman who recorded the message talked too fast and that the message came at the wrong time of day for the person who told me about it.

I asked Manzullo’s press secretary for the text and was told that it wasn’t his, that he doesn’t do robo calls.

So, I guess it must have been from the Democrats, trying to discredit the congressman.
