I'm furious! Just received a taped call from Calista Gingrich and Citizens United selling Newt's

movie. It's disgusting how she says that the left has taken God out of our children's lives and she imploys me to get her movie. I waited listened and pressed 1. I asked them how they got my number because I am on the do not call list. They woman who answered said it was political and that was permissible. I think it is disturbing crap.

Here's the number: 1-800-942-1970. If we all call maybe they will realize how annoying this is. Press 1 if you want to talk to a salesperson.

She makes it seem like the book is free at first, but then closes by saying: "Operators are standing by to take your contribution," or something like that. What a load!

8. Blocking them can help.

I know where you're coming from. It is indeed annoying when these nuisance callers work around the law and still call you despite of you being on the DNC list. I've had calls like that and I got the same reaction.

Well, I suggest you report this caller to your telephone company and have the number blocked so these calls stop. If they use another number, have it blocked, too. It wouldn't take time. All you need to do is call your telephone company, give them the phone number to block, and you're done. No more calls.

9. Report them to authorities.

And I strongly recommend you report them to http://www.calercenter.com to expose them. When people read your post, they'll be warned ahead and will probably block the number ahead. That gives those callers fewer numbers to harass.
