Sounds quite tidy (except for the 40 foot stack of tax and corporate regulations). Back when I still had a land line phone I got calls from "charities" offering to help with my debt payments. But if that sounds disturbing to you, you can always lobby to have them excluded from calling your phone also.

Sure, but your argument seemed to have been that the do-not-call list would give bureaucrats the power to determine who qualifies as a charity or a polital organization. I'm saying that's a totally separate determination that has nothing to do with the DNC list.

That might be a problem with the rules on non-profits, but it has nothing to do with the DNC list.
