Don’t want no more stinkin’ political telephone calls?

This is yet another case where the politicians fixed the law to allow them opportunities not allowed to others, as in the FTC’s Do-Not-Call Registry. Political calls are legal, and they are much more annoying than the junk phone calls received from junk mailers in the past. The Dunning Letter did a post on last September 8, “Tired of political robocalls?” that announced the site, StopPoliticalCalls.org.

I didn’t subscribe, as I am also not on traditional junk mail opt-out sites, so that I can monitor what these lunatics are doing and report it to you. Like the current parade of politicians that start out by saying, “This is (name),” at which point most of us hang up. What makes it even more distasteful is that it is a robocall with no live person on the other end.

My advice is to hang in there until you get the name, write it down, never vote for any one on this list, then make your selection from those who don’t call but do measure up to your expectations. Goodbye robocalls.  Or...you can subscribe to StopPoliticalCalls.org.
