How To Stop Political Phone Calls

As of right now, there is no clear way to stop political phone calls. Unfortunately the current Do Not Call list in the US allows charities and political phone calls to keep bothering citizens with no legal recourse.

At this point consumers are forced to use Guerilla type methods to prevent these calls. One of them is simply reporting the telephone number of the caller on http://www.callercenter.com

This will often bring unwanted publicity to the candidate reponsible for the phone calls. You can also sign up to the "National Political Do Not Contact Registry". Which is an non-profit, non-partisan organization created
by Shaun Dakin.

They will send out your information to political organizations advising them that you do not wish to be contacted.

This is a good initiative because any calls that you receive after you sign-up will provoke an even stronger reaction. If the political party chooses to ignore the "National Political Do Not Contact" registry they may lose you as a voter because they are clearly defying your privacy preferences.

What's interesting is that United Kingdom also has a Do Not Call list, which is called the "TPS" meaning "Telephone Preference Service" and it allows you to stop all calls including calls coming from Political Organizations and Charities.

I would vote for a candidate that would call me and say that he has a way of stopping these calls once and for all.

So after you file a complaint on callercenter.com and http://thinkdodone.typepad.com/ send a letter to your local senator and let them know how you feel.
