Time for South Carolina to Celebrate, Primary is Over!
No more phone calls, no more stuffed mailboxes. I'm happy. I started averaging 8 political messages a day on my answering machine late this week and my mailbox was stuffed for 3 days in a row. Commercials on tv were nonstop political attack ads. Hooray, it's over!
Those robocalls where it sounds like Mitt talking but he says your name are kind of creepy.
I think they should have a do not call political list of phone numbers next time. I don't care for all of that. They can mail me stuff but I have to keep hitting the delete key and listen to a couple seconds of each phone message.

Rules are:
The registry only applies to residential lines, not to business lines.
A person may still receive calls from political organizations.
The organization Citizens for Civil Discourse has lobbied Congress to close this loophole by developing a National Political Do Not Call Registry where voters can register their phone numbers and ask politicians to take the "Do Not Contact Pledge". Its database is not backed by the force of law and as of November 2008, only 3 politicians running for office signed the pledge.
A person may still receive calls from not-for-profit organizations.
A person may still receive calls from those conducting surveys.
A person may still receive calls from companies with which he or she has an existing business relationship for up to 18 months after his or her last purchase, payment, or delivery from it, unless person specifically asks the company not to call again.
A person may still receive calls from a company up to 31 days[8] after submitting an application or inquiry to that company, unless the company is specifically asked not to call.
A person may still receive calls from bill collectors (either primary creditors or collection agencies). These callers are, however, regulated by other laws, such as those limiting them to calling during "reasonable hours." Some creditors may not call debtors who file for bankruptcy protection.
