    Hats off to the boys...they finally passed something worth the effort

    They should also set it up so you can blow up a telemarketers phone using your phones keypad....just for those who cheat

      That "No call" list has been here in Colorado for about a year now.
      I was one of the first to sign up, and it's been great.
      In the last year, I've only gotten 2 or 3 calls, and as soon as I mention the no call list, they quickly apologize and hang up

        It was great in Colorado while I still had a land line. Unfortunately, the national version is not expected to pass the Senate.

          It will if you and everyone you know flood your Senator's local office with so many phone calls on the matter that they can't conduct business as usual.

          Grass-roots campaigns CAN work if enough people feel strongly enough about the issue.

            Been in Kansas for a while now as well.

            A national one is pretty nice though.

              I live with my mother so her phone goes first and she tells them to bog off and since I'm next on the phone list they ring me and I tell them to bog off.

                There is one here TP, lemme know if you want the phone number.

                We used to get 6+ calls a day. Quite annoying for Andrea as she was working nights at the time. Since registering, I've not had a single call in... 2years I think.

                          Every company must subscripe to a register, by law, containing people that do not want to be contacted. This register gets updated monthly so it can take a few cycles to things to start to work... As i said, two years on and we have not had a call in recent memory
