Political calls are exempt from the DNC registry.

I started a non-profit, non-partisan organization last year to combat intrusive robo-calls by using a voluntary, private sector solution: the Political Do Not Contact Registry.   As a result I was asked to testify at the U.S. Senate 2.27.2008 along with N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper.
 
Our registry is similar to the federal government’s Do Not Call list. But to succeed it requires politicians who will honor the wishes of voters who’d rather not endure the endless robotic, political phone calls during campaign season.
 
Kansas’s own Congresswoman Nancy Boyda has become the second member to sign our pledge.  She has taken the pledge and agreed not to robo call constituents that sign up for free at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.  We commend her leadership on this important consumer issue that impacts the privacy of all voters.   As one frustrated Mother wrote us:    "I find it very frustrating... I tend to get calls at the WORST time.  I have a one year old daughter, and it NEVER fails that the phone will ring when I put her down for a nap or for bed.”

Voters’ phones will soon be ringing off the hook this Fall.  Fed up voters can visit our web site at StopPoliticalCalls.org and add their names to our free Do Not Call registry.  It’s time we give the political dialogue back to average, concerned citizens.
