Yeah, they shouldn't have the authority to regulate interstate commerce.
Having the govt involved in this area was very bad.
Leaving the telemarketers to self-regulate is even worse.
Here's a rundown on what I did to defeat the telemarketers, and what happened in subsequent events:
1. Installed Telezapper. Response: telemarketers' calling systems now ignore S-I-T tones.
2. Selected "opt out" on every form I filled out. Response: many businesses have deleted opt-out options, and now require that I send them a NOTARIZED letter via CERTIFIED MAIL before they will cease and desist from calls. In other words, I have to spend MORE money to be allowed the quiet enjoyment of my property.
3. Asked telemarketers to put me on their "Do not call list" when they call. Response: telemarketer either breaks call before I can finish saying the magic words, or they suddenly say "No habla Ingles, Senor" or "What was that? You're breaking up!"
Amazing how many conservatives could understand the dangerous ambitions of the govt getting involved in healthcare, but not this issue.
Well, if telemarketers had not behaved so abominably for so long, the government would not have gotten involved.
