Called today for afamily member who does not live here and has not lived here in years.

CID said SSI. Also calls from 231-331-8697 SSI. Between the 2 numbers they have called 5 times today, some only 30 minutes apart. This is harassment plain and simple. It says it's a political survey. My political views are none of their business and I don't answer any call that I don't know who's calling.

This is SSI  Survey Sampling, a marketing research company. To get removed from their call list:  URL is http://www.surveysampling.com/.

Keep in mind that if they do not place you on their internal DNC list, they can still get into trouble. As a rule, survey's are exempt from the DNC though. Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
