http://wvgazette.com/News/200903190743A religious group is targeting House Judiciary Chairwoman Carrie Webster and Monongalia County Delegate Barbara Fleischauer in a phone campaign on gay marriage, and Webster says callers are harassing her staff.
This week, some West Virginians have received telemarketer-type calls from people representing the Family Policy Council of West Virginia.
The caller tells them the two women are blocking a ban on gay marriage, according to people who have gotten the calls. If recipients choose, the caller patches them through to Webster's or Fleischauer's office to express their views on gay marriage.
Council President Jeremiah Dys said his group hired a firm to begin making the calls in the past few days "as part of our educational effort."
