From: Beverly Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 5:41 PM To: PRIVACYSTEERINGCOMMITTEE Subject: Privacy I would like to know why the government feels they have the right to decide who has access to our personal information. If a citizen wants to give personal information to someone or some entity, that is their right and theirs alone. I am very disturbed the government presumes to have the authority to give or sell my information to telemarketers. The government is taking far too many liberties. I do not want nor do I appreciate spending my evenings and weekends being disrupted by telemarketers. The same thing happens all day long at work. Solicitors are constantly absorbing man-hours, with their senseless chatter, rudeness, and persistence. They also are a waste of paper and ink on fax machines. Your solution to requiring them to give a return fax or phone number to call them back to have the phone number removed from their list is a joke. Half of them dont supply a return fax number and the other half simply ignore the request to cease. Give us back our individual freedom to decide if we want to supply our home phone number, fax number or cell number to pests. When did I relinquish my right to privacy?
