My guess, is that the people who wrote the "anti obnoxious calls" laws,
exempted themselves. Being rude will probably not reduce the calls. But,
worth trying.

My landline phone is on the "Do Not Call" (DNC) list. That has stopped
most of the phone spam. However, I know that the DNC list does not
block political calls. With election time getting close, I'm getting
more of these. I dont want them. Particularly those that want my
opinion about candidates. This annoys me to no end.

1. I hate politics, and want no part of any of it. It's bad enough
seeing all the TV commercials that make every candidate look bad. I
wont vote for any *major party* candidate for any reason.

2. My choice of candidate is no one's business except my own, and I
refuse to tell anyone other than family members who I choose.

3. They are flooding my answering machine with this garbage, which is
causing me to lose important calls when the machine gets filled.

My phone is PRIVATE, and I dont want *anyone* calling it except persons
to whom I give my phone number.

Must I allow political calls on my phone, or is there some way to stop
them?

Until I do find a way to stop them, I will continue to be as rude and
nasty as I can to those who do call. Doing that just makes me hope they
get the message that I dont want them calling me.
