Judge Rules Huckabee-Voiced Robocalls Broke Law
Ron and Dorit Golan filed a class action in 2012 after receiving two unsolicited, recorded messages on their home phone, stating: “Liberty. This is a public survey call. We may call back later.” The Golans are both listed on the Missouri and federal do-not-call registries. Had they answered the robocalls like many others, they would have been asked by Huckabee if they “agree that traditional American values are under attack in mainstream media and by our government.”
The Golans, who were among the 4 million people who received the call, claimed the survey was a guise promoting the movie, “The Last Ounce of Courage.”
Huckabee reportedly said during the recording, “I am an enthusiastic supporter of a new movie called Last Ounce of Courage… about faith, freedom and taking a stand for American values.”
The 2012 movie centers on a man named Bob Revere who feels the government and a liberal group are attacking his freedom of religion. It reportedly raked in $3.3 million at the box office during a limited screening and currently has a zero percent critic rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes.
