I read the exempt list, and I’m still a little confused. At one point it says political organizations , but at another says " Political solicitations." Does this mean that all calls by political organizations are A-ok to still bug us, or just ones demanding money? Oh well, at least there won’t be 10,000 messages for siding along with the “vote for me” speils they tend to leave before elections…
