One non-profit that gets to me is Disabled Veterans (look
I'm not against D.V.A -
as a matter of fact I AM a disabled veteran.

But when they call with a pre-recorded message from
"Bill" -- no phone number to
call back -- and call repeatedly, every two hours until
someone picks up the phone -
I say that's enough.  They are taking too much liberty with
the non-profit exclusion
from the "No Call List".

I further agree that politics (bias toward one party) should
not be an exclusion.
Perhaps we should allow someone to call us to urge us to
vote.  "THAT's A
WHOLE 'NUTHER SUBJECT " from urging us to follow a political
party.
