Anti-Gay Group Robocalls Vermonters

With the Vermont House of Representatives vote on marriage equality scheduled for today, the opposition seems to be ramping up their efforts. The Burlington Free Press is reporting that robocalls were received by some Vermonters last night.

Several people called the Free Press last night to complain about automated calls regarding today’s House vote on the gay marriage bill.

Callers said the recordings urged them to call their local legislators and urge them to vote against the bill.

The Vermonters said the calls showed this number on their caller ID: fed0309RSCH or 804-934-1092, a number in Richmond, Va.

This appears to be a lobbying effort by the National Organization for Marriage to encourage opposition to the bill. Here is the contact information for the group:
