It's September, so guess what time of year it is???
Give up???
Yes, it's football season, but that's not what I'm talking about........
Its that time of year where the politicians and groups start their badgering of everyone to get votes and all those wonderful things.
While even I........the NON-political person that I am, admit that some of the groups and efforts are valid, I LOATHE the means in-which they go about their efforts.
LIKE the one that prompted this thread.
The automated voice on my phone that tells me to vote for a particular proposition.
Is there ANYONE that can help me figure out how to keep from getting all these delightfully-interupting calls?

Turn off your phone service.
Yup, I think that's about it.

Get your number into the national do not call registry.

1nutworld,
Political solicitations are, I believe, exempt from the FCC‘s Do-Not-Call Registry.
Because the machines some use may call incrementally starting from a base number, unlisted or unpublished number will not prevent these calls.
Caller ID was very useful in helping us avoid political telephone solicitors during these past primaries.
If you discover better tools, please share!
