Through a little sleuthing I came up with the following:

The Direct Marketing Association keeps a list of names and numbers of those
people who desire NOT to be called. Members of the DMA (supposedly) abide
by this list. Note that your local merchants don't necessarily belong and 
you may still get calls from people dialing on the basis of newspaper 
reports of your misfortune, or sequentially trying to get blanket 
coverage. Nevertheless, your vote with these guys may get a message across.
To be removed,call   212-689-4977  Direct Marketing Assn.  The office is
in NYC.

Hope this works  !
