Has anybody else been getting calls from the TEA Party?

4. Been getting calls from the Faith & Freedom Coalition

And from Rep. Steve Southerland (FL - Tea Party), who is unfortunately my representative.

The FFC robocalls are particularly annoying since they will not disconnect when I try to hang up on them. They take control of my telephone line and will not relinquish it until their message is complete. I've now placed complaints with the FCC, FTC, and the Florida Consumer Affairs people. I know they cannot block calls from some organizations, but my major complaint is the inability to disconnect their calls, especially since their message is over a minute long.

Oh, the other complaint about the FFC is that the calls purport to be from the Florida branch but there is no web site or contact information for a Florida branch. The link from the national site is for a dead webspace. So I can't even contact them to get OFF their list.

ETA - I did call Rep. Southerland's office to complain about being on his call list. The only reason they would have my number is from when I called his office to complain about some of his insane votes. Either that or his telephone "town halls" are dialing everyone in his district until they get enough people to stay on the line to listen to his bullcrap.
