They did it to themselves. LOOOOONG before he national list got passed these companies were forced by law to have their own don't call lists and there were heafty fines for continued harassment. But the telemarketers did everything in their power to make it nearly impossible to get on the list. Had they simply realized that people who wanted on the list never were going to buy their crap and made it easy for people to stop the damned phone calls the national list never would have happened.

Also if they would have been smart about NOT calling during dinner time, and done a little demographic research so they didn't call apartment dwellers and try to sell them new roofs, and learned how to take no for an answer.

Don't blame us for telemarketers destroying their business. They were using a service WE were paying for to try to sell us junk we didn't want. That's theft, stopping theft is a legitimate use of government.
