Is Candidate Michel Martelly In Trouble With The FCC?

Automated Calls Made By Michel Martelly Campaign Under FCC Investigation - Did you get any automated calls to you cell phone last year with Sweet Micky's voice asking you to vote "Tet Kale?" Well.. So did the U.S. Military base at Fort Bragg... They thought is was a terrorist threat, they had to evacuate, and they were not very happy about it.

Now it looks like Sweet Micky maybe in trouble with The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for breaking the law.

The Miami Herald reports...

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is investigating last year's series of fervent campaign "robo-calls" by Haitian presidential candidate Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly...

... In the weeks prior to Haiti's November election, anyone who had ever placed a call to Haiti received a string of pre-recorded calls from Martelly... the list included countless Haitian Americans, journalists, non-profit groups and the U.S. military...

La loi est dure mais, c'est la loi!

Michel Martelly, perhaps we should say his campaign, is in violation of The U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act which has specific rules for automated pre-recorded calls. Read the full article here: The FCC is investigating Haiti campaign calls

Penalties are $16,000 per violation... O yer... 16 mil dola U. S.

Now Sweet Micky will change his Mon Colonel song to this...

Mon colonel, mon colonel...
S-on ti apel mwen t-ape fer...
si ou vle fe apel mwen di fo-w peye...
16,000 dola...

Question:

Should Michel Martelly become Haiti's next president, what do you think will happen to all these charges?

U r so correct.

I am even certain that Mrs. Perfect Angel Manigat has forgiven the Toro for some of his acts.

I ask God for forgiveness for all those priests and pastors who have raped and fingered so many of our young girls.

Michel Martelly "Sweet Micky" will be the best president for Haiti...

Haitians are unforgiven, they keep thinking about Martelly's past as a musician and thinking that he is a bad person...

People make mistakes and do
