Just got a robo call from the American Petrolium Institute.

"It's time to tell the Obama adminstration to approve the Keystone XL pipeline...blah blah blah...If you would like us to send a letter to Secretary Kerry on your behalf, please press one..."

Not sure why they bother. After the election, the pipeline will get a green light anyway.

Surprisingly, they haven't called back like a lot of other telemarketers/pests.

for the last 5 months. I have them blocked, but they still call 5-7 times/day...even Sunday. I don't know what else I can do to stop them.
