Update--Republican Party Outsourcing
May 24, 2004 The Indian newspaper, Hindustan Times, reports that 75 Indian employees contacted at least 20,000 voters through automatic dialing and asked them to contribute money to President Bushs re-election campaign. Washington-based Capital Communications Group billed the Republican National Committee (RNC) $9.25 per hour for the calls. Each caller had a target of $400 per day. The newspaper claims that "conservative estimates" would put the Republican haul at $10 million. Thats a lot of money. President Bushs "pioneers," who raise over $100,000 each for the campaign, get wined and dined at the White House. We dont know what Capital Communications Group paid the Indian workers who made the fund-raising calls, but dont expect to see them at a White House banquet any time soon!
