Unfortunately, all you can do is ';Sorry Not Interested';, and hang up.
You can put PRIVATE phones (cell or land line) but not business ones, onto a Do Not Call register. The callers have 31 days to take notice and stop calling.
But this only applies to organisations defined in the laws as telemarketers. This is from the site below
';calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom you鈥檝e provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls.';
In other words, only people trying to sell you something are barred. People asking questions or asking for donations are exempt.
';Sorry Not Interested'; is the way to go. No point arguing, yelling or abusing them, they are just people doing a job and are not in a position to take your name off the list. In many cases there is not even a list, as such, just random numbers being dialled, so nothing to take you off.
Or simply don't answer calls from numbers you don't know.How can I stop the Obama Campaign from calling me for money?
With all due respect to those who suggested the ';Do not call list,'; campaigns and pollsters are two of the exceptions, they can call whatever phone they want. If you don't like it, remember that the law was passed by a Republican Congress :)
In all seriousness, though, it's going to be tough...Obama's phone campaign is really farmed out to volunteers, and they all have lists at home, so no matter who you talk to, tons of other people will probably have your number.
I got the same thing from Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. I ignore it. But they are not allowed to call work numbers. I never did get a call from or for Obama, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Romney, Richardson, and maybe a few of the others. If you tell them not to call anymore they don't. How did they get your cell phone number? I never got a call on my cell phone as there is no phone book for cell phones.
try filing a restraining order against Obama and the democratic party
or you can do what I do, put your numbers on the national do not call list, and tell them when they call you that you are on that list, that by calling you they have violated federal law and the next time any of them call you, you will be forced to take action... if they say they can't control that, you simply say, ';tough, not my problem, the law is the law';
I'm running into the same problem. I had registered and donated in Hillary's campaign. Now, somehow, Hillary gave my contact info to Obama and I am being bombarded with all his stupid info. I hate him and I will not do anything to support. Today, while I was walking to class at my college, somehow drunkard looking guy comes up to me and asks me to vote for Obama and gives me a voter registration sheet. This is so bogus.
Tell them to put you on their No Call list, and tell them you'll file a complaint if they call you again at that number. If you're getting calls at multiple numbers, you may have to go through the process at each.
As I understand it, charities and political calls are exempt from the federal Do Not Call law, but each should maintain their own list.
If you are a registered Dem, then that's the way they got your number. Unless you contributed to his campaign.
I used to get calls and junk mail from our congressman when I was registered the same as him. I changed my party to ';Decline to State'; and no more calls/junk mail.
You might try that.
Dam. I don't think you're telling the truth. Stop looking for attention. You know nobody's calling you.
And Missouri patriot... you are a bigot and a disgrace to your country.
Are you serious? Tell him to get lost! Good Lord with the way the economy is going and people struggling with gas prices, where does he get the ';audacity'; to ask for money?
cut a penny in half and send it to him. or email him, he is a senator, i've emailed my senator and gotten a reply.
Put them on your National Do Not Call List.
That way if they call you, you can report them and sue them for a small amount of money in some cases, or they'll get slammed with a nasty fine.
Tell them straight up to ';Stop Calling me It is becoming a Really Pain!';
If it doesn't work tell them again or just don't answer the phone.
give them ted kennedy's number; hes been sitting in Congress for over 30 years doing nothing but take half the term off to sail his boat at the taxpayers expense
Vote for him and they will take it directly out of your check when he takes office.
have them arrested for harassment
sue them for harassment
I just tell them they need to contact Helen Waite, because she handles all my political donations. so any policians who want me to donate can just go to hell and wait. :-)
They are black! They love Well Fare and donators!
Vote for McCain.
Just say you're a big fan of mccain
