XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 26, 2000 19:15:14 ET XXXXX HALLOWEEN TRICK: DEMS SCARE SENIORS; CAMPAIGN CALLS BLAME BUSH FOR NURSING HOME DEATHS Campaign phone calls targeted to senior citizens in Michigan blame George W. Bush for death in Texas nursing homes. The calls have blitzed the state’s seniors in recent days and have frightened many recipients. "Hi. My name is Ann Friday calling from Texas," the campaign call placed by the Michigan Democratic Party begins. [Click for RealAudio] "My husband passed away nearly four years ago from an illness that his nursing home attendants failed to notice. He could be alive today if it wasn't for this neglective experience. When George W. Bush ran for Governor, he promised to improve the quality of life for nursing home residents. But Governor Bush broke that promise when he signed legislation that weakened nursing home care. Since then nursing home complaints continued to (not audible) be trouble. Tell Governor Bush to stop breaking promises and start fighting to protect American Seniors." MORE Democrats in Michigan were being accused late Thursday of using unethical practices to transmit the scare calls. One recipient of the call reports that he had privacy protection. The Democrats used the number 000-0000 to bust through that protection, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. In one case, the call was forwarded to a recipient's cell phone. The outraged recipient was charged for the campaign call. Gore campaign calls in Maryland featuring Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend have also been showing up on caller IDs as 000/000-0000, according to reports. drudgereport.com
