Turn the tables and call the Republican dirty trickster robo-callers. Call now!
Conquest Communications phone number is 804-358-0560. Call and let them know (in a polite and legal way) that you do not appreciate their attempts to subvert democracy and the will of the people. Leave a message for as many of their employee scoundrels as you have patience for. For some background, read http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/11/05/18326780.php.
Talking Points Memo website has been all over this story and only now is it starting to get the serious attention elsewhere that it deserves. And so the robo-callers have gone into hiding just as the Democrats officially issued a cease and desist order on these illegal calls.
Robo Caller Doesn't Want Your Calls?

Irony of ironies.
Since we posted this morning on Conquest Communications, the company that's been conducting hundreds of thousands of often harrassing calls on behalf of the National Republican Congressional Committee, they've taken down their "Contact Us" and "About" pages.
The pages included the company's phone number and bios of the company's executives. Maybe they were getting too many phone calls?
The woman who answered the phone couldn't tell me why the pages were down, only offering, “maybe we’re getting a lot of traffic." When I asked if I could speak to someone who might know why, I was put through to the voicemail of one of the partners. That call, along with an earlier one to the company, has yet to be returned.
The company works exclusively with Republican clients, of which there is a long, long list. One of the founding partners, David Johnson, is a veteran operative of the NRCC and the former Executive Director of the Republican Party of Virginia.
...
Later Update: Actually, since posting this morning, Conquest seems to have stripped their website down to everything but its index page.
