Listen to this strange robocall I received yesterday (4/10/2013). I'm not saying it was paid for or authorized by Bill Halter, but the people who created this clearly want him to win the Democratic primary. Authorized or not, I don't think it's unfair to refer to them as goons. 

Bud or Bill: I'd appreciate an apology for insinuating that what I tweeted yesterday was a "lie". 

Script: 
Hello, this is Ashley from Protecting Our Jobs to alert you that Arkansas Republican State Senator Jason Rapert authored and passed a law that takes a woman's right to choose away from her after only 12 weeks of pregnancy, and that Mike Ross voted last year in Congress to defund Planned Parenthood. Now Ross is thinking about running for Governor. Mike Ross and Jason Rapert are making it more difficult to attract new business to our state because they don't respect women's rights. Please write your local newspaper editor to tell Mike Ross and Jason Rapert to stop their war on women. 

Voicemail from "Protecting Our Jobs"

Hello this is Susan calling from Protecting our Jobs with an important message. Former Congressman-turned-lobbyist Mike Ross has taken tens of thousands of dollars from the extreme Tea Party billionaire Koch Brothers who funded the right-wing takeover of our legislature and who are trying to defeat the Medicaid protection bill that Governor Mike Beebe has been fighting to pass. Now Mike Ross is calling Arkansans to say he may run for governor to continue Mike Beebe's legacy. Mike Ross is no Mike Beebe. Mike Beebe opposes the Koch brothers' efforts to kill the Medicaid protection bill. Arkansans can't afford to let the Koch brothers buy our next governor like they have already done with our legislature. Tell Mike Ross that our Arkansas values are not for sale to the Koch brothers.
