Interesting topic, however robo calls are an epidemic and need to be stopped.

As I testified in the US Senate with the NC AG, robo calls are an epidemic and are invading the privacy of All American Voters.

Our members are taking a stand and saying enough is enough at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.

North Carolina's own Virginia Foxx has taken the "do not robo call" pledge and joined us in reducing this epidemic.

Here is a quote from a member:

"I find it very frustrating... I tend to get calls at the WORST time. I have a one year old daughter, and it NEVER fails that the phone will ring when I put her down for a nap or for bed. Also my vote is PRIVATE... so who do you think you are calling with a survey to find out who I am voting for!!! Stop calling me."

Yes, legal Reconstruction did end in 1877, although the two-party political system it created in North Carolina lingered until 1900, when the white supremacy campaigns decimated the Republican Party.

Also, Clayton was not the first woman elected to Congress from North Carolina. That distinction belongs to Eliza Jane Pratt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliza_Jane_Pratt), who was elected in a special election to complete the term of her boss, William O. Burgin.
