This is as untrue as no one has the right to ring your doorbell without your consent

If you have a sign posted on your door reading "NO PEDDLERS OR SOLICITORS", then any peddler or solicitor who rings your doorbell is trespassing.

Nope. And I'll tell you how *they* are getting around do not call's already. The states have do-not-calls. The go-around is being done already. Perfectly legit. And very compromising too.

The mass marketeers are going into the clubs, religious organizations and public interest groups that folks belong to. They get the executives -- one or two, eventually a majority of the excutive committee or whatever the master steering group is to to all things necessary -- from providing solicitation lists to changing by-laws -- so as to allow the marketeers to call YOU. YOU, the member of a club, church, sect, synagogue, or organization.

You see, as a member of club, the FIRST AMENDMENT'S guarentee of the right of free association PREVENTS any goobermint [sic] body from stopping that kind of marketing.

Marketng is like sex. You just can't avoid it. An intrinsic part of nature.
