The Federal Trade Commission just made it illegal for telemarketers to call your home. All you have to do is enter your phone number in a database. Here's the story:

Anti-Telemarketing

Or you can go to the website and enter your phone number:
Sign up

I don't know about you guys, but I get 2 or 3 calls every night. If I can file suit for $11,000 per call, I'll pay off my boat before Christmas!

In my opinion, nothing to write home about.
Exceptions include, charities, surveys and other calls without the expressed intent of selling you something.
How about a national Do Call list, for people who want telemarketing calls.
This would require an effort on the part of our lawmakers and a little common sense.

If only they could come up with a feasable way to ban spam.

We have had this type of thing here in Oregon for a few years now and it is great. Almost totally eliminated junk phone calls.
