Political calls are generally exempt from the do-not-call list. You apparently know this. You may be right that politicians should not be excluded from this or that subscribers to the list should be able to indicate their preference. Non-profits are also excluded, not just politicians.
If you do not want to receive these type of calls, your current options are to let calls go to voice mail (or unanswered if no voice mail) for calls from unrecognized numbers (there are ways to automate this), answer and end the call as you see fit, or do not use a phone. Sorry. That’s the way it is. You can petition for changes to the system, but we have to use the system as it stands today.
Romney SHOULD use phone banks to get out the vote. He IS AND SHOULD BE calling without regard to someone being on the do-not-call-list because that list is not intended to indicate whether someone is willing to receive calls from political and non-profit organizations.

I would respectfully disagree because I highly doubt anyone with a functioning brain would be positively swayed by an unknown person interrupting them and suggesting they vote for XYZ.
If someone called you to vote for Marxist Obama would it change your mind? I don’t think so.
There should be NO exclusions except for a reverse 911 call system.
Those of us who took the time to register on the DNC list obviously do not like unknown people calling their homes.
I do a lot of computer programming and it is very irritating to have my mind buried in a few thousand lines of code then some twit, who ignores my DNC wishes, calls. The interruptions at dinner set my blood boiling. Just “Who TF” do these people think they are?
