I got a call last on 06/01/2013 at 9:51a.m. I want them to stop harassing me. They never leave a message I just look at the caller I.D and by the way leave me the hell alone. When a person don't answer after a couple times that means they are not going to answer, the phone company should be held responsible for this foolishness.
Whether or not the fundraiser has DNC exempt status depends on the type that they are. 1st party non-prfit fund raisers are mostly exempt from the DNC. 3rd party fundraisers are not. The FOP rarely does their own fundraising. Most of the time it is through a 3rd party Telemarketer who is paid a profit to make the solicitation calls. They are of course subject to the dnc. Once you tell them to cease, they must do so or they can be fined $16,000 by the FTC. I believe that the purpose for recording is more to keep the callers in line than the called because of this. Regardless, they must stop calling if you request it as does any 1st party. The only difference being that the 3rd party must cease immediately and the 1st party has 30 days. One thing to keep in mind also is just because they are considered non-profit, does not mean that they are considered exempt under the DNC... Lots of good reading on the DNC/FTC for that rainy Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else to do and no good leftovers in the refridgerator...
DNC, no DNC, it doesnt matter, it is 100% illegal to robo-call ANY, REPEAT ANY CELL PHONE! Federal law! does not matter if its political, fund raiser, charity, mickey mouse drunk dialing, its illegal, there are several class action law suites right now, so google it, chances are you will be included in at least one of them!
