WHAM Channel 13 covers illegal Republican robocalls - updated w/link
Channel 13 WHAM just did a terrific story about the Republican robocalls for Walsh. I will link to it as soon as it is on their website. Frankly, it was great reporting — they spoke about the facts in a way that the national media is afraid to.
