Persons with no connection to a debtor are instructed to return a telephone call to indicate that they are not the debtor or to return a telephone call indicating that they are the debtor. Using robocalls under any circumstance indicates a rather profound contempt for the target. It is an assertion of power through mechanized annoyance. However, using them to extract physical performance from the victim is vicious. Coercing involuntary performance of any act is akin to slavery. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution outlawed involuntary servitude. That a company located in Germany, a nation with a more recent history of forced labor and mechanized mass murder, should subject U.S. citizens to even a few moments of robotically controlled involuntary servitude is a moral scandal. National Rifle Association robocalls to residents of Newtown, CT in late March 2013 apepar more than callous. They reflect an attempt to deepen the emotional pain of a community that suffered one of the most horrific civilian atrocities in Amercian history. See NRA Robocalls In Newtown Spark Outrage From Local Gun Control Group Christina Wilkie. Huffington Post. March 22, 2013. According to Right Wing Watch, William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC hit 122,000 households in South Carolina and Virginia with a robocall attacking Republican U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor and Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for supporting immigration reform. His hate message warned about, "millions of illegal immigrants to get amnesty, jobs, welfare payments and a vote with or against you in future elections."
