Help? How do I get these people to stop calling me?

When the election was going on, the last two nights before election day...both parties were bugging me. Not so bad during the day, since I wasn't there. But, after multiple calls both nights, I was a bit pissed. After yet another one of those calls, I told the live person, that if I got any more, I'd carry the phone into my garage, and give her an earful of Abingdon-on-Thames' finest

I didn't get any election calls. My parents got some on the answering machine when I was housesitting a few weeks ago but I deleted those.
