Yesterday received 3rd call from "Americans for Prosperity Foundation," but the first one with this particular number (per my Caller ID: "Survey Call 253-246-8536"). Recorded message was left from a "Nick Walker" saying something about my property rights and the Maryland Plan(?) and advising me of a "Town Hall" on Thurs. night 11/3 at ____ Senior Center. Also invited me to call 866-730-0150. I just called that toll free # which was answered by a gentleman identifying himself as Francis. He did not know why I would be receiving calls about issues and meetings related to the Maryland area. Francis did say that he was in the headquarters office of AFPF, and was located in the Washington DC area. I advised him that I had previously asked my number to be put on their do not call list. He checked and said my number was on the list and that he did not know why I was still receiving calls, but that he would follow up. The two earlier calls were both September 29, and Caller ID showed 703-224-3200. The messages that were left on my answering machine stated the caller was from AFPF (one time gave name as Joel Aaron), who left the same sort of messages relating to my property rights, etc. I called the 703 number, and a pleasant young lady explained they were "grassroots organization... news about events in your area... fiscal responsibility.... non-partisan." She also referred to the "Defending the American Dream Summit November 4 and 5 in Washington DC" and said there was a web site, www.DefendingTheAmericanDream.org, which I didn't bother to check out. I asked her to remove me from their call list, and she said she would.
