"America Uprising" Call- Go F Your Telemarketing

My cellphone has now been called five times from this Trump PAC trying to raise money.

GO F YOURSELF! I don't give to political campaigns. That money just gets pockets by friends of the candidate.

No rational person makes a purchase based on an incoming call. Charities, surveys, and political calls are exempt from the DNC.

They need to outlaw telemarketing and caller ID spoofing. Between the calls for Trump, Hillary, timeshares, car warranties, credit cards, mortgages and so on it is really quite maddening.

A free service provided by the government to stop telemarketing calls. Works great!

I signed up for the nomorobo site and it does work well. One ring from a telemarketer and the call drops. Hopefully they are being responsible with the info they ask for at sign up... Hard to trust anyone on the internet anymore.

Something tells me the OP is a Hillary supported, so SCAM is right, you left leaning Hill-Tard!

Back in the last election, I was always getting fundraising calls from Romney, but there was this really fast message you had to hear multiple times before you could tell it said "Not affiliated with any candidate or candidate's committee".

If they would just let us sue the phone company for routing phony caller ID, I'm sure the phone companies would fix things in a hurry.

I would really like them to make robo-surveys illegal, because you can construct the only allowed answers to skew the data to whatever you want to report. I kept getting calls from TPC Research and I finally listened to their whole spiel and pressed the button to say that NO, I was NOT a registered voter in North Carolina. Anyone that stupid doesn't deserve to be employed outside of the menial service industry. Anyone in NC who has a 703 area code likely has a cell phone, which is illegal to make those sort of calls to anyway.
