Tele-Politics

Several years back my wife and I signed onto the National Do Not Call Registry. For a while, all was silent... at least until the approach of Election Day. Now the phone is ringing off the hook with automated solicitations for votes- democrats and republicans alike. Apparently politicians are excluded from their own policy.

How convenient.

Read the fine line. FAQ #30 states:

Political solicitations are not covered by the TSR at all, since they are not included in its definition of “telemarketing.”

Could politicians do any more to turn me away from their platform? From mock-Sopranos mudslinging politics, to the deluge of dinner-time political solicitations- I'm fed up.

What next- political spam?
