The number they called from was 785-799-3900. I've discovered that BVTM is Blue Valley Telemarketing. Here's their website, which doesn't come up if you google BVTM: http://www.bluevalley.net/telemarket.asp And here's their 800 number: 1-800-882-0803. I called it to tell them I was on the federal "Do Not Call" list and that I had Vonage, so there was a record of their call on my Vonage page that I could easily forward to the authorities. The woman who answered took my number and claimed they would take my name off their call list. Of course, it's entirely possible they put me on a different call list, one calling from a different number, but that seems too Machiavellian, even for a telemarketer. I encourage others to do the same when BVTM calls them.   Shanabana Citizen Username: Shanabana Post Number: 459 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 8:18 pm:        We missed the deadline to get on the list. I just never answer the phone.   Wendy Supporter Username: Wendy Post Number: 2526 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 8:27 pm:        It was a very brief survey about the upcoming Maplewood primary. Not sure if one is exempt from that with the Do Not Call List. I'm registered and don't get many calls but I received this one.   eliz Supporter Username: Eliz Post Number: 1485 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 8:46 pm:        shana - there is no deadline for the do not call list - go to http://www.donotcall.gov and enter your phone number.   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 11674 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Wednesday, May 31, 2006 - 10:07 am:        Political calls aren't included in the non call list legislation.   Politicalmon Citizen Username: Politicalmon Post Number: 163 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, June 2, 2006 - 9:33 am:        Also calls from non profits are not included on the list
