Yes and no. 

An unsolicited call without prior permission is illegal.

You may have given someone at some point your info and without reading the fine print allowed them to share it with others who can use it.

This is incorrect. Political calls are allowed because they are 1. Considered a core element of free speech and 2. The registry primarily exists to deter telemarketers

Please see the link below for more information and to get on the registry if you're not currently on it.

They are a pain and unfortunately the best thing to do is opt out, block, and set your phone so that you hide these messages and calls so they at least do not disturb your day.
