This political organization is exempt from having to use the federal Do Not Call list to avoid calling people who do not want to be called.
But this political organization is required to maintain an internal Do Not Call list of their own, and refrain from calling those numbers for several years - it is not permanent.
Using *67 to block your number usually works, but if they have a contract with the phone company to provide them with ANI data, your phone number is NOT blocked from appearing on that list.

Caller ID says "COLLEGE REP". They leave no message.
I call back after hours (using *67 to block my number). I hear the following, "Founded in 1892 the College Republican National Committee is an independent political committee with over 200 thousand members. As the nationally elected voice for young conservatives across the country, the CRNC drives and defines the debate for college republicans. On campus the CRNC recruits, trains, mobilizes, and engages collegiate students in all 50 states and Washington, DC to win elections and advocate for conservative ideals.
Today the CRNC is on the move. We are the unions of the right, and the fastest growing sector of republican party activists.
For over 119 years we have fought hard for republican candidates. You are a part of that tradition. With your help the next 119 years will be even better.
If you would like to make a donation or receive additional information about the college republican national committee, please, press 1 now. (if I select this, it tells me the office is closed and to try again later)
If you would like to contact our headquarters, please, press 2 now. (if I select this, it gives me the snail mail address and website, www.crnc.org If you would like to be added to our DNC list, please, press 3 now."
If you are inclined to give, please do so through their website. Do not encourage the telemarketers who will certainly take a sizable portion of your donation. In addition, I have received faux political calls in the past; I suspect they pocket all the money.
