Yeh my advice is don't, or if you must make sure you clean your dialling list first with the DNC list. Yes I know that political messages don't need to obey the DNC list but they should. This is why I don't donate t most political campaigns. Dean -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Voipjet should be fine however dont have all the calls go out at once. test your system first and see how many concurent calls you can have at once without loosing voice quality. I would also reccomend getting a dedicated server to do the calls as apposed to buying the equipment if you are doing a

I'm helping out with a political campaign and would like to use asterisk to blast out about 200,000 calls with a short message from the candidate. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd find it very difficult ethically to be involved in this, even assuming it's legal. Check very carefully
