Gentlemen, I would like to comment on the proposed change in the DO NOT CALL Law. Isn't DO NOT CALL specific enough? Just what is it you don't understand that you would permint recorded messages to go through? I think I speak for most people in saying we DON'T want messages coming on our phones that were not invited and that includes recorded messages. The idea that because we may do business with a company that that gives them the right to invade our privacy is just rediculous and just another form of SPAM. If my bank, credit company, insurance company, etc. wants to contact me, they can send me a letter. And just to make these recorded phone calls worse, you can't even hang-up on them, they play to the end. If you hang-up and then pick up the receiver again, the recording is still playing. If you only have a cell phone and you pay for incoming calls, guess who pays, ME. Something is wrong here and changing this law works against us. We DON'T want these calls! They even came from both political parties before the elections. The idea that they will only come from approved people is just rediculous. Don't give in to lobbying groups, make the DO NOT CALL law stronger not weaker. Doesn't anyone in Washington get it? If I wanted to accept these annoying calls, I would not be on the DO NOT CALL list in the first place. Do the right thing, DON'T GIVE IN TO THE LOBBIES. WE DO NOT WANT UNINVITED PHONE CALLS, PERIOD!
