It took forever for our lawmakers to give us some relief on this issue. Please do not open up any loopholes. We are entitled to our privacy and 64 million american families opted to take advantage of the Do Not Call Registry. At 2 voters per household thats 128 million votes in favor of keeping the annoying calls out. Its just as annoying to answer the telephone several times a day for a pre-recorded message as it is for a person to person call. Come on guys, this is a no-brainer. If you want to change anything then close the loopholes allowing charities and politicians to call. They should have to get you to opt in before they can call. I maintain and pay a telephone bill(including taxes thereon) for my convenience not for receiving annoying calls. Thank You
