So this explains why they are still pestering me!!! I thought it was because it was suppose to start Oct. 1. Wonderful! Coming from one with health issues who, at times, has a hard time getting to the phone fast enough only to find it is one of those companies! ARGH!  |

It is my choice not to be bothered by people who do not know how to take "NO"! for an answer. Just be sure that anyone who calls you on the phone to ""Hawk their wares" doesn't make a sale!  |

Over fifty million people signed up for the do not call list. Now, one person, a judge has decided that the other 50 million people must have been mistaken and that they really do want to be called, particularly at dinner time. What kind of idiot is that judge?  |

I wonder if this has an effect on the NYS No-call which was sending this global. We have had it here for at least 3 years and I haven't been bothered by one single telemarketer since my name was on the very first list. To overturn something that has been in existance for 3 years would be pathetic. However I understand where this judge is coming from in regards to hearing the other side. If I was calling your house and you obtained materials that say I can't through a court system and I will be fined or jailed if I call. I should have the right to be notified and be able to plead my case in court to be allowed to call. That is essentially what they are doing. There will be some lawyer to represent the telemarketers and both sides will plead their case. All this is, is allowing the other side to have their right to "due process" so to speak. Most likely when all parties are before a judge, they will favor the registry and it will start again.  |

If my caller ID says "Unavailable" I don't answer it. I also have it set to where you can't leave a message if you show up as "Unavailable". |

Holy crud! Con't we have one aspect of life not saturated with ads and sales pitches? They have billboards and tv/radio commercials, they have signs on trains, busses (bus stops! Even the Cable Cars here in San Fran!) they have signs in taxicabs and on just about every other surface in public view! Why, oh why can't we have sanctuary from salespeople in the privacy of our own ding-dang-diddly-doggon homes?!?!  |

Read this: "Judge who sided with telemarketers is flooded with calls from angry consumers JULIE E. BISBEE, Associated Press Writer Thursday, September 25, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (09-25) 12:45 PDT OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- U.S. District Judge Lee R. West's telephone has not stopped ringing since he sided with telemarketers seeking to block a popular national do-not-call list. Egged on by talk show hosts and angry Web sites, people have flooded West's office and home with calls and faxes, apparently trying to show him why they wanted to ban unsolicited sales calls. "They are just calling to tie up our lines," said Rick Wade, operations manager at the district clerk's office. "They just keep calling to harass us, like the telemarketers harass them, I guess." The phones at the federal courthouse were jammed Thursday morning and voicemail boxes were stuffed with messages blasting West's ruling that the Federal Trade Commission lacked authority to create and operate the registry. West's home and office telephone numbers were posted on the Internet, and consumers angry with the ruling were encouraged to call. Calls by The Associated Press to West's home seeking comment were blocked by busy signals. The ruling even made late-night television talk show host Jay Leno's monologue Wednesday night. "The judge says the telemarketers can call you whenever they want," Leno said. "You know what we should do? Let's all call this judge tonight at home during dinner." West did please some businesses with his ruling Tuesday. Telemarketers say the list would devastate their industry and lead to the loss of thousands of jobs. Rick Ratliff, president of U.S. Security, Inc., one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the list, said his company laid off half of its 600 employees because of restrictions on telemarketing. "U.S. Security does not sell anything over the phone," he said. "We simply ask for the opportunity to tell someone about the lifesaving benefits of our security and fire systems in a face-to-face meeting." The do-not-call registry appears that it will go forward after all. The House approved legislation Thursday intended to ensure the list goes into effect next week. After less than an hour of debate, which included potshots at West from both parties, House members voted 412-8 to approve the bill" |
