I called the number above and I keyed in my number to remove.  They said it could take up to 30 days, but we will see. I will keep doing until I am off this list.  They are beyond annoying.  I had TWO today.

Repeated calls with no message.  Finally got to the phone and asked that I not be phoned again.  The woman on the line was not pleasant, but there have been no calls since.

calls from this number, almost daily. don't recognize, so i don't answer.  phone says ALA

I'm sick to death of these annoying calls, and found out that if I answered, the person at the other end hung up.  So I let it ring to my answering machine.  Reading the comments and complaints from others here, I have come to the same conclusion, i.e.t hat it's pointless trying to get these calls put on the "do not call" list.

I am sick and tired of calls from this number - every day, multiple times.  If I don't answer, they do not leave a message.  I decided tonight to answer and they hung up.  I dialed the number and got a message saying it was the American Lung Association and sorry they missed my call, but if I wanted more information or would like for them to delete me from their list, to press 1.  I did not do so.  I just hung up.  Can't somebody figure out how to stop these annoying calls.

I answered the call today after getting calls every day.  I had to pry out of him that it was the American Lung Assoc.  I told him I do not do business with anyone that calls me and asked him to put me on his do not call list.  Charities and political solicitations are exempt from the National Do Not Call list so you have to answer the call and deal with it.  If you don't they will just keep calling.

Stop calling

Calls generally at least twice a day.  On EVERY day except Sunday, the first call invariably comes shortly after 10 AM.  That angers me since it awakens my elderly aunt.  They always hang up.  Nuisance doesn't even begin to describe these calls.  I;ve tried blocking them but they just call the next time from a different number.  This seems to be the time of year when all of the sham "charities" spend loads of money paying a 3rd party to harass people to death, spending anything earned from the fund drive of the costs associated rather than it going to the so-called "charity".  And the Do Not Call list does not work on so-called charities, so we the public are stuck with these robo-calls.

Has called almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. Never leaves a message, just hangs up after 4 or 5 rings.

I received a call from this number at 840 AM Saturday, September 1, 2012.  That is too early to receive a call on my day off, and inappropriate use of my phone line.  I am on the DNC list and do not appreciate such calls. How can I get off this organizations call list, I do not contribute to them and will not from here on.

American Lung Association. Based in Washington DC. Physical address 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest  Washington, DC 20004.

Caller ID ALA = American Lung Association.  Google 202-350-0286 and on about page 4, you'll see that this is who this number belongs to.

I kept receiving calls from this number and I finally was able to rush to the phone to pick up. I started yelling at the person on the other line until he finally spoke after I told him I knew he was there. It's a young man's voice telling me that I shouldn't speak in the manner I was. Then the idiot shouldn't call me in the first place. I've come to the conclusion that it's probably some unemployed graduate in DC who can't find a job so he harasses people.

No message....just calls....has called three times in the the last day....

Did not answser.  I NEVER answer numbers I do not recognize, and if they don't leave a message I let it go.  I know it's frustrating, but the best thing to do is just don't answer.  Forget the no-call list, it's your typical government BS of promises we keep hearing from our sleazebag politicians.

ALA, no message, calls every day and hangs up. Obnoxious.

Calls once a day, every day for the last 5 days. I let it go to the machine and they hang up. Also getting calls from Baltimore, MD selling a home security system. These calls started about the same time.
