All you people are idiots. do you honestly expect politicians to make it so they cant call??? how do you think they raise the funds for their annoying commercials around election time? the telemarketing firms are allowed to call from 8am-9pm local time. Also sqawking at the companies receptionist will not tie up the lines to prevent the from making phone calls. they have more lines to use. it is a telemarketing company. also youre n ot clever when you nook up a fax machine theyll just hang up. oh and one last bit of info you can still get marketing calls from companies when you give out your info.... likd buying a car or applying for a credit card... oh and non profit organizations are exempt from the dnc list. one other thing youre only on the dnc list for 5 years ... after 5 years your name/number will not be on there which means companies can call you.
