First call said they were conducting a survey of discount stores. I just hung up. They immediately called back. I yelled at them to remove my number, they promptly hung up.
Next evening, they called back with another survey. Luckily, for them, my wife answered and politely refused.

NSR is a public opinion research company. They do not ask for money and they are not selling anything, therefore they are not covered by the rules of the Do Not Call list.
Companies that are not asking for money and not selling anything can call anyone, any time they want.
A vast majority of the politicians out there hire companies just like NewSouth Resarch to call voters for them. Do you think that the the politicians are going to write laws that prevent them from reaching voters or potential voters? No.
Everyone needs to read the Do Not Call list rules and regulations. Just because it's called Do Not Call, doesn't mean that everyone out there has to abide and is subject to those rules.
Are calls from political organizations or calls soliciting for charities covered?
Political solicitations are not covered by the TSR at all, since they are not included in its definition of “telemarketing.” Charities are not covered by the requirements of the national registry. However, if a third-party telemarketer is calling on behalf of a charity, a consumer may ask not to receive any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If a third-party telemarketer calls again on behalf of that charity, the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000 .
What about telephone surveys?
If the call is really for the sole purpose of conducting a survey, it is not covered. Only telemarketing calls are covered — that is, calls that solicit sales of goods or services. Callers purporting to take a survey, but also offering to sell goods or services, must comply with the National Do Not Call Registry.
I've gotten several calls from this number. Got another one tonight and they promptly hung up on me as soon as I answered. Getting pretty fed up with it personally. I didn't serve my country for 15 years to be subjected to this abject stupidity and rudeness. It needs to stop or there will be consequences. I've recorded this as the 3rd hang-up call to which I, and the law by the way, consider a prank call and, or, nusiance call. Keep it up and I'll see you in court and I could use the money since the Government sure didn't pay us soldiers worth a damn.
