Comments:

I personally would rather not have my personal information (i.e. home phone number, cell phone number, business number) opened up to telemarketers. Even if it is a prerecorded message based on a "prior business relationship" and it is "3%" of my received calls. This goes against the grain of the do-not-call list. What would be the point in having a do-not-call list if we, as the public, still receive phone calls from people trying to sell something. My wife works the graveyard shift as a registered nurse and the list has been very benificial feature to her as she is not woken up by someone trying to sell something. When she is woken up by phone calls, her work could potentially suffer and, as a result, people could lose their lives! Please do not pass this ammendment. Thank you for reading my comment.
