The Iowa Independent reports on some ringing activity from last week:
At the beginning of the call, [Mike] Huckabee provides an introductory statement. The person answering the call is then asked if he/she is a registed voter.
In the second question, call receivers are asked if they are aware that Pres. Barack Obama has nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court.
From this point the call moves to a more social conservative bent as listeners are asked whether or not they are “pro-life.” Those reporting this information to The Iowa Independent all provided a negative response to this question, so there is no way of knowing if further anti-abortion questions or commentary (or a donation pitch) would result from an affirmative response.

UPDATE: From Ben Smith.
A Huckabee spokesman says the calls are part of a national program for Americans United for Life, and are running outside Iowa as well.
