Flannery Gives Up on S.B. 1070
Redirects Activism Toward Month-Long Campaign to End Robocalls in America

Hartford, Conn. | April 22, 2025 – After a month of failed efforts to persuade Connecticut’s Public Health Committee to take action on the State’s proposed bill to end involuntary electroshock and move it to public testimony, distinguished clown Jim Flannery turned his efforts today to a more publicly-supported issue: ending robocalls in America.

Robocalls are the cause of any and all mental health issues I’ve ever had.  If we can end robocalls, my fears of ever being electroshocked may just dissipate entirely.  I don’t even know if I really hear voices at all, or if it’s just recordings from robocalls being replayed in my head all day.  As for others who get involuntarily electroshocked for non-robocall-related reasons, well, I guess they’re just fucked since the public doesn’t give a shit about them at all.  But I’ll be just fine as long as the robocalls go away.

While Flannery seems deprived of any support on this matter from his long-time collaborator, [this reporter], [is] enjoying a comma-free morning while she watches stoptheshockct.org’s livestream detailing an innovative campaign to end both involuntary electroshock and robocalls at the same time.
