I can't find the page on Freedomworks, but Lance Baxter did claim they posted his number online (which I believe he himself left in the voicemail to Freedomworks) and because of that, he got a lot of angry calls. http://www.myvoiceoverguy.com/voice-over/freedomworks-geico-tortious-interference/ Though he may be referring to the post at Andrew Breibart's Big Government, where Matt Kibbe (president & CEO of Freedomworks) posted this comment following the link to the voicemail audio: "Lance Baxter (AKA D.C. Douglas) is a noted voiceover actor. When he is not making creepy harassing calls to groups like FreedomWorks, he is the voice at the end of the Geico commercials. Feel free to contact Lance. He was so kind to provide his number in the voicemail. Call his employer too." http://biggovernment.com/mkibbe/2010/04/14/is-the-geico-gecko-a-tea-party-crasher-too/ -- > Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://sterlingnorth.vox.com -- TV or Not TV ....
