I have an unlisted phone number, and still receive countless telemarketing calls.

How about this?: Those of you who enjoy being harrassed by the telephone version of "paid programming" keep your numbers on the "call" list. Legitimate products are generally sold through legitimate channels, anyway...not telemarketing.

AND, no one should have to pay additional fees to prevent intrusions in their own home.

Oh, and this should really frost you...

To counter the expected increase (the telemarketing creeps have threatened this, you know) in cretins coming to my door trying to sell me orange cleaner or some other worthless product, I plan to approach the city council about a "do not solicit" list. This would apply to anyone over the age of 17 (to avoid harming the Boy Scouts, Band kids, etc.)....HAH!

Obviously you're voting for Gephardt, right?

It's already against the law for them to enter your property if you have a posted NO SOLICITORS sign. Now, the same principle has been extended to your phone. This is as it should be.
