Comments:

I do a lot of phone work in my home office, and have been greatly relieved by the absence of (most) cold calls since I've been on the no-call list. I have recently heard that you are about to change the ban, and I urge you not to do so. Receiving recruiting money raising calls is not only irritating, it is an infringement on my privacy, greatly resented before the no-call ban went into effect. Actually, the prerecorded calls are the most insulting of all - the nerve, to think I would listen to someone who doesn't even care enough to call me in person! I do enough phonework in my business to want to save myself from any unnecessary calls either during or after working hours. Please do not take away the freedom from annoyance we have enjoyed this past year.
