Judge rules former lawmaker violated law with ’homosexual agenda’ calls
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a political consultant who is a former state House member violated the law by initiating 20,000 automated, prerecorded telephone calls targeting an Oklahoma County commissioner, the attorney general’s office said.

U.S. District Judge Robin J. Cauthron ruled that the phone calls initiated by Tim Pope violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act because they did not identify the organization placing the call.

Commissioner Jim Roth had asked state officials to check whether any laws had been broken by the calls, in which a female caller said Roth was "advancing a homosexual agenda in Oklahoma County." The calls were made in January 2006.
