Mud Slinging Political Ads

[Pam]

Ages ago I signed up for the *do not call* list. Why is it that tapes of politicians are able to get through?

I signed up for both the KS and the National no call list!!! Little good it did me either!!! I now have caller id and if a call comes in with no number shown or as "unavailable" I don't answer it because it's always someone I don't want bugging me.

I never answer a call that comes through *unavailable* either, but these bozos leave messages on the answering machine! Tuesday can't come fast enough for me!

Pam, I believe your own political party is allowed to call you. Also the
places where you do business (banks,charties, etc) are also permitted
to call, unless you specifically request that they stop.

I had no idea Liz. It doesn't seem fair though. When we don't want to receive calls we should not have to endure calls from anyone. I registered as a Democrat many years ago (although I don't vote party, but rather for the individual), but I do believe you are correct, now that I come to think about it, as the calls seem to be coming from Democrat candidates. It's easy to hit *erase* on my tape but still rather annoying that politicians fall into some sort of *special* category and are able to get through.

I voted early, so I don't have to watch!

Although I have to say if I were running for office I would be embarrassed to endorse some of these ads.
