I wish we were able to do something that I feel no politician will do. Expand the do not call list to mean political phone calls as well. I came home every day for the past few weeks, and have 4-5 recorded messages on my answering machine for this or that politician. I get phone calls in the evenings from them etc... And since they are recorded there is no one there to even say, do not call.

I know that no politician will want to change the law, since it will hinder them, but I would love for it to be done!

Agreed! I'd also like it to be spread for any organization I don't want to hear from, meaning all of them with whom I don't already have some kind of relationship. That includes politicians, charities, "police" organizations, and other sales/con calls.

Move your number fo a cell phone. They can't solicit them. It takes a bit to show as having moved from landline to cell, but in a few months you'll be free of the calls.
