Anyone getting more unsoliciited phone calls since attending a meeting?

I hate to even consider this but I'm kind of wondering why - all of a sudden in the last week- we are getting a ton of phone solicitations from various groups we have never dealt with. The thing is we never give out our number -only time was at the recent rally.

Anybody else experience this? I hope I"m wrong.

Besides registering online, everyone at our meeting gave basic information to the meeting organizer so that we can be contacted for additional meetings.

Your organizer should not have shared that information with other groups.

Do you have caller ID or voicemail? I never answer an unrecognized number. Call back if it turns out to be someone I know.
Maybe re register with do not call?

since I donated the first day he announced. Usually after making a donation, I am inundated with requests. Of course, Bernie doesn't really need to harass me since I will happily donate whatever I can to him.

I think the added calls are probably just due to it being campaigning season and they would be calling whether you went or not. Nobody even answers our home phone anymore since it is guaranteed to be either a sales of campaign call. The few I have answered have been either the DNC or Emily's list.
