Hey billbears. I agree that the states should be passing the laws, but I'm curious about something.

Could a telemarketing firm call a state that had those laws as long as they were situated in a state that did?

For example, a telemarketing firm in California (which does not have the law) could legally call a resident in Texas (which does have the law) because California firms are not held responsible for Texas laws.

Therefore, these firms would just be limited to operating in states that didn't have the law, making the law moot. Right?

I know I am I missing something . . . Sorry for the ignorance . . .

I see your point and my solution would require vigilance at the state level to elect officials that would see that is not only the rights of the states but responsibilities of the separate states to do what the majority of their citizens so desire

However in no way do I see a national government solution as fixing anything. Adding another level of bureaucracy and a whole line of sit on your A$$ jobs to be handed out like candy that will be paid for out of my paycheck is what I see out of this
