You should share this at http://theballot.org!
(Have you seen this website? -it’s awesome.- It’s the ultimate way to find, create and share progressive voter guides!)
I think this list will be super on there. And, tell your progressive friends who live out of state to check it out too because it’s very comprehensive.

Everyone, we think that our opponents are Robo-calling Dems in the 3rd district over and over to make them mad and get them to stay home. Please, pass the word, these calls are NOT from Scott… so don’t stay home tomorrow! If you have received more than 2 robo calls “from Scott,” please call the Kearney office so we can track it.

Elisia,
These things are happening in other states too. Check out this article (paste it together as one link):

In this article they say it is the NRCC. My guess is they are doing it here too. I can’t believe what a dirty trick this is.
