Maybe Congress should look at the NDNCR from a different angle. Instead of classifying the listed homeowners as telephones to avoid, the listed numbers should be considered to be telephones willing to receive calls from telemarketers. By connecting with any listed number, the telemarketers will be invoiced $11,000. That will be the charge payable to the phone owner as his fee for receiving marketing calls.

The government will put together the list so telemarketers will know who is willing to accept their calls for the scale fee of $11,000 per call. If telemarketers call any listed number, they will be deemed to have been fairly warned and fully liable for payment of the fee. At least in this manner, telemarketers retain their first amendment rights to free speech and Congress is exercising its right to regulate interstate commerce.

I LOVE IT!!! I could use a few hundred thousand dollars/month extra:

ONE Call/month/line x $11,000 = $11,000
THIRTY Calls/month/line x $11,000 = $330,000

With THREE PHONE LINES/NUMBERS at home...WOW!!!

I'd be a MILLIONAIRE in a MONTH!!! BRING 'EM ON!!!
