Got 2 calls today, about 6 hours apart. It showed up as 'Wash DC'. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a msg.
To those of you who are upset these companies are allowed to keep calling you even though you're on the DNC list, who do you think exempted political organizations from falling under DNC?
You need to 1) contact your federal rep and tell them to change the law to remove the exemption and/or 2) stop re-electing the same people that put this law into place! We only have ourselves to blame because these people were voted into office.

Sure - you're calling everyone for a very legitimate, legal purpose. But someone calling with a legitimate, legal reason doesn't hang up on the person they called! Or if their machine answers, saying, "Thanks for calling, please leave a message," then a legitimate caller would say why they placed their very legitimate, legal call.
Tell you what: unless you see my number on the "DO-CALL" registry (www.docall.com), you are hereby notified to not call me at *any* phone number... Except 202-534-3124. Call that all you want!
