You're out of luck there because political messages aren't covered by
do not call, nor are charities. I usually let caller ID screen my
call for me. The do not call complaint page wants the number and the
id of the caller if you have it. If I'm feeling especially irritated,
I do a Google search on the phone number--just the number without
going to a white pages listing--and it usually turns up what I need
in a few minutes.
