So, I have to give it up to some 40 employees of Americall, a telemarketing center in Hobart, Indiana.* These call center agents are most certainly people who could use the money but weren’t willing to sell their souls in the process.

Their assignment was to make anti-Obama calls, calling him “dangerously weak on crime” and claiming he voted against “protecting children from danger.”

However, rather than make these calls, the employees flatly refused and, instead, sacrificed a day’s pay and walked out.

So, respect due to these employees.* What they did showed a lot of character.

What is Americall? Never heard of it. Is this a company of telemarketing mercenaries?
