The national "Do Not Call" list does not shield consumers from every type of unwanted phone call. Political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors are still free to make unsolicited calls without penalty, as are companies with which consumers have existing business relationships.

This is my biggest complaint about the Do Not Call list. Political calls, charities and surveys are the kinds of calls I find the most annoying. Those are the ones I want to stop. Also, I expect that companies will begin to make calls under the guise of "surveys", then part way through will slip in an offer for their product. Essentially, the list is like campign finance reform, it sounds like a good idea on the surface but ultimatly won't accomplish anything, other than providing a minor stumbling block, that is easy to get around.

I agree you with you there. I figure since there's usually a charge thet it's just another way for the State to raise revenue.
