'Robocall' Entrepreneur Slams Obama Bid to Stop Calls
Responding to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's call to end "robocalls," the Atlanta creator of a technology which enables a campaign's volunteers to create and place calls, defended the innovative technology as a "last chance for free speech."
"Robocalls are the lifeline of the campaign that lacks big money," says Klane Anderson, president of SolusIP and creator of a patented technology allowing campaigns to use supporters' PC computers to make calls reaching thousands or even millions of voters.
Obama has complained about inaccurate attacks against him coming via robocalls. Obama reportedly has opened a new website where his supporters can report such robocalls.
Anderson says "Obama's $1-billion election campaign has bought nearly every last second of television advertising, with money left over to buy 30-minute blocks of prime time television. But the one thing Mr. Obama can't buy is your home phone line."
Robocalls are made by all political parties in the United States, as well as unaffiliated campaigns, labor unions, and individual citizens, Anderson says.
"The last chance for free speech in today's hyper-expensive presidential election is the ability to phone a voter and get the word out. My invention is robocalling 2.0, it makes the call personal," says Anderson. "It's the only bandwidth we have left to discuss election issues, as Obama's bought up everything else. He knows this could be his Achilles heel."
Anderson says his patented technology has the ability to place a call and deliver a live message to every phone in America in less than a day. Using a system known as "distributed computing" the unique technology allows a campaign to harness the power of supporters' PCs to deliver a final message to voters and respond to last minute attacks.
Anderson developed a number of patents and innovative uses of technology in the computer, communications, and nuclear robotics industries. His company, SolusIP is working with a number of candidates to deliver political messages in the closing days of the campaign. The
technology has been tested and proven in saving an incumbent congressman way down in the polls, defeating the most powerful state House speaker in the nation, and driving huge numbers of volunteers and donors to a presidential primary candidate, he says.
