"Do not Call" should apply to political calls too"Do not Call" should apply to political calls too. Because they are just a much spam as the calls pushing for desert property in Nevada. Over the weekend, I must have gotten a dozen of these calls. |

I don't mind live calls too much but I hang up on robo calls. They have been getting excessive, multiple calls per day lately.
I'm conflicted about applying the do not call list to political calls.

I agree - I had at least a dozen 'political' calls yesterday alone. |

said by FFH5:"Do not Call" should apply to political calls too. I totally agree. These robocalls, the people that create them, and the technology behind it are getting more and more intrusive every election. They call repeatedly and have become the very definition of harassment. I realize they are exempt from the Do Not Call list, which was the stupidest exception to the law I've ever heard of, but I file a complaint about every call, every time anyway. » complaints.donotcall.gov ··· ?panel=2 |

What do you think they did with all those robo-call machines with the DNC list banned them?
Expect it to get MUCH worse as each machine owner competes at lower and lower prices driving the calls into smaller and smaller elections. Pretty soon you will be getting robo-calls from your local city mayor. It'd imagine that at the growth rate we see on them every election it will completely saturate the entire telephone grid (not just comcast in a couple markets, but nationwide on every phone provider) 2 weeks before an election. |

I get roughly three calls a day so it seems. I love listening to them though. Verizon, Frontier and Time Warner don't seem to be having any problems with the large volume of calls hitting the area, though I'm sure something is getting overloaded (maybe at the calling center, as it sounds like they're using VoIP) as the audio breaks up just a little bit only for those political calls on both my Frontier and Verizon line. |

I've never had a robocall from politicians, and I'm registered. I don't know if I put my # in the registration, though (likely not). |
