Faith, Family and Freedom ... and more Freaks!!

Check out this article in the New York Sun which talks about Comedian Eugene Mirman, who received a phone-call from a nonprofit organization called "Faith, Family and Freedom," asking if he opposed gay marriage and then offering to switch his long-distance service to a "Christian-based telephone carrier" identified as United American Technologies out of Oklahoma. After the call reaches a person they are prompted to press "1" if they oppose gay marriage. A real phone call? Let's do some research and find out! Comment if you figure something out. Or you can donate $50 to a Republican presidential campaign, which is apparently how Eugene’s phone number was found.
