This was a pro-Wal-Mart survey for building a store on the south side.

Just got the call too. Thought calling lists weren't supposed to call cell numbers?

I just got the call as well.  I live in Chicago.   I'm pissed.   I wish I could speak to someone about it.   #$@% WAL-MART!

Just received a call on my cell from this number. I live in Chicago and I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick up. I am also registered on the "Do Not Call" list.

Called received to my Chicago cell phone at 5:38pm.  Guess they bought lots of lists.

They called me. Didn't answer. I live in Chicago.

they just called me but did not answer. i live in Chicago too.

Automated survey about building a Wal Mart on the south side of Chicago.

Got a call from this number around 330pm PDT. Didnt receive it, but when I tried calling back, would just ask me for an extension number.

Yep got this call on both my cell and home phone

Called my Chicago residence, but left no message on voice mail.

a "public opinion poll" about Daley.

... annoying.

yep...I have an unlisted cell and got the call also.....did not answer..googled the # and got this site..I am also a Chicago #..

Also received a call at 3:01P on my chicago google voice number.  Didn't answer but called back and got the same "Please enter an extension number"  Number called was 2023604697.  Will add to my google voice blocked numbers list.

Received a call from this number on home phone (773 AC) this afternoon, it went to VMX with no message left. This is likely the current Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce phone survey on the Wal-Mart issue, which was recently mentioned in local media. The Chamber is *pro* an added Wal-Mart location, hence the wording of the question.

Those of you ranting about unions, Democrats et al can give your blood pressure a rest.

I am registered for do not call list.  Number was on caller ID.  No message.
Call at 3:35p  I live in Chicago

I got a call today at 230 from that same number and I live no where near the proposed site for the new Walmart.....thanks everyone for your input...i knew 202 was DC and that made me a nervous wreck!

Wal-Mart steps up pressure on City Council
Posted by Dan P. Blake at 10 p.m.

Wal-Mart representatives tonight tried to increase the pressure on Chicago's City Council ahead of a committee hearing Wednesday where the prospect of a new South Side store could come up for debate.

A spokesman for the company announced a polling firm made automated calls today to more than 75,000 Chicagoans with a one-question recording that touted the benefits of a new Wal-Mart, including more than 400 jobs and "a wider availability of fresh groceries and other goods."


The company said the recording also said opponents "say the jobs are not good enough."
Wal-Mart officials said the results show Chicagoans overwhelmingly favor a second store for Chicago, but it's unclear whether their latest public relations push will win them converts among aldermen who have so far sided with organized labor groups that oppose the store.

Union leaders have fought hard to keep Wal-Mart out of Chicago, saying the company's wages and benefits are too low.

The company also sponsored a farmer's market last weekend at the South Side location of its proposed store. But while local Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) supports the effort, his proposal has been stuck in a council committee.

Before Wednesday's full council meeting, proponents will try to free up the plan for a future public hearing and vote. But it's unclear if that will work.

Mayor Daley and politics had nothing to do with it...it was on the news tonight that Walmart paid for the poll today
