Comments:
Giving the telemarketers the right for prerecorded calls is invading into our privacy. My husband and I are both sick, I have problems walking. Walking to the phone for a prerecorded call would be a hardship on me. Why should I answer a prerecorded call, they could have problems and your phone could be ringing during the night. The telemarket should be outlawed. If a person wants work done or buy something, they know where to go. I certainly under any reason at all want to be bothered by a telemarketer. I have had 12 surgeries for cancer, I don't feel that I am well enough to get up and answer their prerecorded calls. Please outlaw this ridiculous idea of the telemarketers. They bother you enough with mail that comes to your home, unsolicitated mail. Why do we have to have them bother us on the phone. I thought they were stopped from calling, why should they have the right to break the law, this is a form of calling a person, even if it is prerecorded, they are still taking advantage of you and entering your home via the telephone totally unwanted. Please, do not grant them this privilege, we do not want them to invade out home with unnecessary calls, it will get to be day and night we shall be bothered by them which will necessitate our having to give up our telephone. We need our phone, why do we have to give it up because a telemarketer wants to bother us again. This should never even be considered for them, it should be thrown out. They already have stated no telemarketer calls, why are they being given another chance. Thank you for your time. J
