In a statement, the organization said it "acknowledges the wishes of millions of U.S. consumers who have expressed their preferences not to receive" telemarketing solicitations.

Acknowledges, but won't respect. Perhaps they'll call me tonight and acknowledge it again.

It sounds like they're saying this is more of a state matter, and I think they have a point.

My response is not to use the whistle but to argue against their product using vulgarity, name calling, etc. In the long run it desn't change things but I generally get the caller so mad that they are ineffectual for some time. I have even had some call back to argue even more.

Such fun

[gridlock]

OK. That tears it.

Up until now I have been polite but firm with telemarketers. A simple "No thank you, and please do not call me again."

No more. They get the "(explicative deleted) You" from now on.
