If the Do Not Call people share my phone numbers with those telemarketers, there's going to be hell to pay. Absolute HELL.
Bullsh*t! If I am contacted by anyone who use these telemarketers, the first thing I will do is call the store or business where it came from and inform them they just lost a customer permanently.
Keep a whistle at the phone and give them a blast.
The "Do not Call List" is an example of unrestrained government spending.
I do not have any relationship with telemarketers except for the fact that I just hang up.
Every one else can hang up also.
Look at the falling dollar, just to see the effect that unrestrained government spending has.
Anyone who supports the "Do not call" laws has no right at all to complain about government spending, because they are unable to give up their pork.

I think the dealine for comments is January 5.
I've never understood how these idiots stay in business considering how everyone hates them.. yeah, ticking people off is a good way to get customers..
hmmmm. None of the links for comments seem to be working. Does this mean that they can honestly say that they received no objections to the proposal?
After as long as I can hold them on the line (and for some reason I cant find my wallet and then I try to find my Mom's wallet, ya can hear em drooling), I then inform them that I cant sign up for anything without talking to my friend... By this time I can burn an easy 30 min of the scums time, when I worked for MCI, I kept hearing from the Telemarketers Supe as I walked by was this "SIGN THEM UP OR HANG UP".
They make they money selling and hate to waste time so waste their time and then laugh as you hang up...

"People like getting messages, but it has to be a relevant message," Crowe said. "If there's a place where you like shopping, you'll probably want to know when they're having the biggest sale of the year."
These people are despicable. What part of "Do Not Call" don't they understand? If consumers want to stay in touch with favorite companies, surely they know where the company is located in their area. And if it's a "place where you like shopping" then probably you shop there enough to see the signs about the "biggest sale of the year."
Do Not Call means don't call my house -- ever! If I want to do business with you, I will come to your store or find you online. I pay for my phone line, I pay for the phones attached to those phone lines. They do not have my permission to convert my equipment to their business use.
Somebody slap this guy. There are no "literal" "floodgates."
BUMP
Rather than registering for a "Do Not Call List" for telephone customers, that should have been the DEFAULT setting. If people wished to receive calls from telemarketers, they could have been required to sign-up for that option.
That method would have led to maintenance of a much smaller list, as people who enjoy speaking with telephone solicitors are in the extreme minority.

Hell no. Since I placed my phones on the Do Not Call list the number of junk calls has almost dropped to zero. It would be a damn shame if the greedy politicians changed the rules now.
