Federal Court Orders $32M Fine For Robocall Promotion of Christian Movie Voiced By Mike Huckabee

A federal judge in St. Louis on Thursday ordered a Virginia man and his companies to pay $32.4 million in damages for improper robocalls narrated by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee that promoted a religious-themed movie.

U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber said in the ruling that Gabriel Joseph III and his companies violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making commercial calls to more than 3.2 million recipients without their consent.

The calls made in 2012 promoted the movie “Last Ounce of Courage,” a drama about the “war on Christmas.” The calls in question begin with Huckabee — a Southern Baptist minister turned Republican politician who ran for president in 2008 and 2016 — saying he has a “45-second survey,” according to court documents. Huckabee was dismissed from the suit.

“Do you believe in American freedom and liberty? … Would you, like me, Mike Huckabee, like to see Hollywood respect and promote traditional American values?” Huckabee said in the calls, according to court documents. “I am an enthusiastic supporter of a new movie called ‘Last Ounce of Courage.’ It is a film about faith, freedom, and taking a stand for American values.” – via The Associated Press

Last Ounce of Courage starred former pro football player and actor Fred Williamson, (Who must REALLY need the money) Jennifer O’Neil  (and ardent pro-life advocate and Christian who has been married 10 times! ) and Structure underwear model and gay pin-up Rusty Joiner. (Who needed a better agent)

A $32.4 million fine for a crap KKK-ristian propaganda  movie that grossed $3.3  in theaters.

Perhaps there really is a God after all.
