I just received a robocall from Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage, the homophobic group opposed to marriage equality, that purported to be a survey but was really just a push poll designed to drum up opposition to same-sex marriage before Thursday’s Senate vote.
I hung up. Maybe I should have taken the poll and skewed its results.

I received several pre-taped robocalls from Brian Brown of NOM. The first few I let the answering machine do the dirty work. Then I answered and just hung up. Yesterday I took the call and took the poll and voted, in effect, for gay marriage. I suspect I won't be getting any more calls from NOM.
