Nobody has a right to complain about their house getting called unless they are on the "do not call list".

Anyone using a marketing machine has to first download that list by law before using the machine.

I help a doctor run one of these for his marketing, so I know of what I speak of here.

I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST AND STILL GO OVER A DOZEN OF THESE CALLS LAST WEEKEND!!!!!! How the #$%(&%(&^)!@ do I get off theist (*&$%@! list!!!!

[FourPeas]

I may be mistaken, but I believe political parties are exempt from using the "do not call" list.

[EagleClaw]

I am no expert here, but I do not believe the do-not-call lists pertain to political calling

[coder2]

I don't think the "do not call" list has anything to do with political campaigns..

If I understand it correctly, you actually have to verbally tell the caller to put you on THEIR do not call list when you receive a political call.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong ---- I believe political calls do not fall under the restrictions of the all-encompassing "do not call" list.

Political calls are not covered by the law.

You can register your phone number for free, and it will remain on the national do-not-call list for five years. You may re-enter your number on the list when the five years have passed, and you may remove your number from the list at any time.

The Do-Not-Call registry does not prevent all unwanted calls. It does not cover the following:

* calls from organizations with which you have established a business relationship;

* calls for which you have given prior written permission;

* calls which are not commercial or do not include unsolicited advertisements;

* calls by or on behalf of tax-exempt non-profit organizations.

I am on a DO NOT CALL LIST, but it exempts political calls. I pay the local phone company to screen my calls, and still the robo-calls got through this year.

Judging by the "unhappy customers" who I talked to while waiting in line to vote this morning, I think that candidates, parties and issues coalitions should re-think these calls next time around. IT IS REALLY TICKING PEOPLE OFF!

I'm on the state and Federal do no call lists and I've been inundated. I don't think they apply to political and charity calls.

It apparently was happening in NH and Indiana, but it's been stopped.

Who else here is happy today is election day because the ads are over?

The last week, we didn't get any commercials except congressional attack ads from both sides, over and over and over again.

The ads have basically been running since labor day. I am not exaggerating that saying there was only 1, that is right, 1 policy issue, proposal brought up in the dozens of different ads run. They were all, you are sleazier than me.

The one policy proposal by the challenger btw was to give tax breaks to veterans. That was all the issues being discussed for 3 months. Makes me want to bury my head in the sand.

I hvae all my numbers on that list and I still get them.

Political calls are exempted. Obviously, that needs to change.
