Reid responds to ‘dishonest, misleading’ automated calls

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is miffed that an unidentified organization has used his office phone number to make “dishonest, misleading” phone calls to various Congressional and government offices.

Reid tweeted a link to a release:

Please see our statement on the automated calls Congressional offices have been receiving: http://bit.ly/9novS

“An unidentified organization is dishonestly using Senator Reid’s office number to mislead people and to create yet another distraction from the important issues our country needs to address,” said Reid spokesman Rodell Mollineau.

“American families are suffering and every day that defenders of the status quo spend on misleading and disruptive tactics like this is a wasted opportunity to be working on finding real solutions,” he added.

The release also did not specify the topics of the calls. Reid’s office is in contact with the Senate Seargant-at-Arms about the matter.
