Lynn, the DNC Registry is not for all unwanted calls. The sole purpose for it's creation and existence is to provide Telemarketers (Telephone marketing businesses) who are registered with the FTC, with a list of those who do not wish to receive Telephone Sales or Marketing calls from these Legitimate American businesses. They are required to purchase this list monthly. Most people have no Idea how the DNC works or it's only purpose. They assume it is to block all of their unwanted calls, when in fact, it blocks absolutely no calls. It is just a list for those legitimately registered businesses who don't wish to offend the wishes of those on the list, and maintain a good public image. Many organizations are exempt, and political calls are one of those. For violations by these Registered businesses, it is 16K Per. None of these businesses are willing to make harassing calls to anyone at the risk of that kind of money. If they do, they are easily found in the FTC Data base of which they are Registered.
