I think the "Do not Call" list needs to be updated.

...specifically to punish robocallers who crash the phone networks with the sheer volume of calls (Like what happened in New Hampshire), to force campaigns of all kind to abide by it as well, to include surveys, and most importantly, to include cell phones, to give an incentive to not call at dinner time or at 6 in the morning.

I'm talking to you, local campaign who robocalled my bloody cell phone at 6 AM in the morning, the ones who were robocalling the students and teachers today, and that other campaign who called our landline at 6:30 AM. And these are local elections, so I doubt they're centered on the East Coast where it's 8:30 AM. Thanks for making sure I will NOT vote your way, dingus. It's thankfully not as annoying as when it was in 2008 where we had to unplug the telephones to get a night's sleep.

I don't get many Robotcalls over here.

Still get cold callers tho, but they're easy to play with.

I don't get any unwanted calls. (I do get plenty of unsolicited emails from DeVry and ITT still even though I told them to bugger off.)

Probably because I'm on a cell phone. With a number that's about nine years old.

... Droooiiiiiiid.
