Attorney General Sues Group Making Automated Phone Calls

Sep 18, 2006 02:20 PM EDT

(INDIANAPOLIS) -- Indiana's attorney general filed a lawsuit Monday against a group making automated phone calls targeting Democratic congressional candidate Baron Hill.

The group behind the calls, Economic Freedom Fund, is being funded by the Republican donor who helped bankroll the Swift Boat attack ads on Democratic Sen. John Kerry's war record.

Attorney General Steve Carter planned a news conference Monday to discuss the legal action. Carter, a Republican, began investigating the calls after receiving complaints about them from people who live in the 9th Congressional District in southern Indiana.

Bob J. Perry, a Texas homebuilder with close ties to White House adviser Karl Rove and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, recently donated $5 million to the Economic Freedom Fund, a newly created California group targeting Democratic candidates.

Among those candidates is Hill, who is seeking to regain the congressional seat he lost two years ago to Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Sodrel in southern Indiana's 9th District.

Both campaigns praised Carter's action.
