JET alum Shaun Dakin, anti-robocall activist<\/p><\/div>\n

JET alum Shaun Dakin (Shimane<\/a>-ken, 1989-91)<\/strong>, founder of StopPoliticalCalls.org<\/a> which seeks to stop the use of robocalls in political campaigns, was quoted recently in several articles <\/a>about the Republican primary battle, including one today on Huffington Post (“Newt Gingrich Robocall: Mitt Romney Forced Holocaust Survivors To Eat Non-Kosher Food<\/a>“).<\/p>\n

The Republican primary and upcoming national election will likely be busy times for Shaun. \u00a0But whether you’re a Republican, a Democrat, or some other category, Shaun seems to have found an issue that most everyone who owns a phone can likely support. \u00a0And, hey, maybe after the 2012 elections Shaun can head back to Japan and team up with Inuyama City Council Member\u00a0Anthony Bianchi<\/a>\u00a0(Aichi<\/a>-ken,\u00a0Inuyama<\/a>-shi, 1988-89) <\/strong>to\u00a0fight back against the political campaign trucks with the obnoxious loudspeakers.<\/p>\n
