Huckabee targeted by class action suit over robocalls for Christmas movie

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee could be facing a class action lawsuit stemming from the marketing campaign from his movie about the "war on Christmas."

Attorneys for Dorit and Ron Golan claim that more than 4 million calls were made marketing for Huckabee's film "Last Ounce of Courage," which could potentially violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act that says unrequested messages with commercial content are illegal.

Individuals who could have received robocalls from the former governor received mailers last week, saying they may be eligible to become members of a lawsuit against the governor.

"If you received one or more telephone calls that used the recorded voice of Mike Huckabee to deliver a message as part of a campaign for the movie "Last Ounce of Courage", you may be a class member in a class action lawsuit," the letters read.

And if somebody called and started leaving a message about a movie, I would just hang up the phone. I hope the Senators and Congress critters get as many robo-calls as I do.
