First Amendment vs. final straw: Can we stop those annoying political 'robocalls'? Should we?
"We're not advocating for banning robocalls, or taking away freedom of speech," said Shaun Dakin, the founder of the organization. "But we do think the voter should have a chance to opt out." : : MORE right

Stop Political Robocalls

Over 85,000 members strong!

Political Robocalls are exempt from the Federal Do Not Call Registry.   In fact, all political calls are exempt.

Now, for the first time and for the cost of coffee at Starbucks you can register your phone number with the non-profit non-partisan National Political Do Not Contact Registry (NPDNC) so we can add you to the Political Do Not Call list.   Learn more.

What We Will Do For You:

As a Non-Profit Voter Advocacy Organization we will:

  1. Securely collect your contact information.
  2. Send your contact information to ALL political parties, candidates, political action committees, and any other organization that makes political robo calls and ensure that they are told that you no longer want robo calls from them.


As seen on ABC News, CNN, USA Today, the LA Times, the New York Daily News and on NPR , The National Political Do Not Contact Registry is fighting for you, the American voter.

What is the NPDNC Registry and what do we do for you?

  • Who:  We are a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization located in Washington, DC.   We receive no funding from outside organizations.   Funding comes directly from the voter.  That means you can be assured that we are independent and free from political influence.
  • Action: We distribute our National Political Do Not Contact Registry database to politicians, political action committees, advocacy organizations and many other exempt groups and ask that they not call those voters that have registered.
  • Advocacy: We are a non profit, non partisan Citizen Driven Movement advocating for a very simple change to a regulation: to add political robocalls to the Federal Do Not Call Registry.  Political calls are exempt from all regulation at this time.
  • Legislation:  In 2008 we worked closely with Sen. Feinstein to help introduce the Robocall Privacy Act of 2008.  In 2009 and beyond we are encouraging Congress to introduce similar legislation and are working at the State level as well.
  • Education: We work with candidates and advocacy grouops to educate them on the effectiveness (lack of) of political robo calls and encourage them to use alternate channels to communicate with voters.  Here is a link to data about this issue.
  • Research We work with all interested groups (media, non-profits, others) to provide data, research and education on how robo calls impact voter's lives.
Regards,

Shaun Dakin
CEO and Founder

Robocall Privacy Act Take Two
Shaun Dakin, who heads the National Political Do Not Contact Registry, says he was in contact with Feinstein’s staff about re-introducing the bill, which the California Democrat did in May. In a non-election year Dakin thinks the bill stands a much better chance for passage, particularly given the recent uproar over the millions of bogus car-warrantee robocalls that initiated a Federal Trade Commission crackdown.

Why Must I Register To Remove My Number From Political Phone Lists?

It is critical that we prevent fraud.   Since we are a non-profit and the registry does not have the force of law, it is critical that our database be secure, accurate and free from manipulation.   To prevent fraud and abuse we require voters to validate that they are who they say they are by registering and activating your account.   In addition, by registering and becoming a member you can return at anytime to update your contact information if you move.




Report a Political Phone Call you received
If you have received an unwanted political phone call, simply use our Form to hold our elected officials accountable by reporting unwanted political calls.


I am giving serious consideration to purposely not vote or vote against anyone who is rude enough to disrupt my home privacy.....PARTICULARLY THOSE PRE-RECORDED MESSAGES THAT LEAVE NO NUMBER FOR RESPONSE.
