Politicians need to learn unless they do something about the flood of spam/spoof telemarketing calls, their attempts to reach potential voters won't work anymore. Who knows who's calling anymore. I just blocked this number.
It is a call center for Democratic National Committee, asking for me by name and (presumably) for money. I told her I vote Dem but have no money to contribute. Caller said she'd call back another time and I told her "I said I do not have any money to contribute, so please do NOT call again." And then I hung up before she could say any thing else.
I use Google Voice and block all calls from anyone not in my Contacts list. A little of a pain sometimes cause if somebody says they'll call me back, I have to ask from what # so I can add it into my contacts. Otherwise, all numbers from 000-000-0000 to 999-999-9999 are BLOCKED! I just see the failed attempts to call me in the call log. On my cell phone, I've set it to do not disturb and allow to ring if caller is in my Contacts list there, then I use an app to sync my contacts list with my Google contacts. Again, a bit of a pain, but my phones stay quiet.
