You may have heard this a thousand times over, or maybe you just think I'm nuts asking, but here goes.
I was wondering if anyone could advise me how to go about finding contact information for A&R representatives from mostly major record companies who accept unsolicited demo CDs or if anyone has this type of contact information themselves?
Go ahead laugh; but I'm serious - it doesn't hurt to ask right?
Well thanks!

Make a good record. Sell locally. Put on great shows that builds a clientele in your area. Get major market airplay. Get noticed.
The majors follow the scent of money being made.
There arent A&R's like there used to be per se.
Sorry, but thats the way it is.
Think you might be one of a few wanting to do this? The volume of home-made, bedroom recording, even Indie produced pro level is astounding.

I 100% agree with Davedog. Other than that, try Taxi.
In Canada, we work with booking agents that manage recording acts. You start playing, they see you have a following and are worthy of the attention and able to handle yourself as an actual musician/band. No one wants to put energy and money into a loosing battle. You are an investment, plain and simple. That's what it takes. Then, if they smell money, good things start happening. You then are in and you make sure you don't blow it. Its a small world at that level.
Very few of the majors will accept unsolicited material.
