Comments:

I value my privacy. I don't like having my privacy interrupted by solicitations of ANY kind especially when it is a prerecorded phone message. As a result, my wife and I have adopted a policy that we refuse to do business or support any organization that uses unsolicited phone calls. TV and radio we can turn off, junk mail we can trash, but unwanted phone calls we have no protection from other than regulations. If that violates the originators freedom of speech, I'm sorry but I was always taught we had freedoms and rights only so long as our freedoms didn't infringe upon the freedoms and/or rights of others. I count unsolicited phone calls an infringement whether they be from telemarketers, charities, political candidates or survey takers...whatever. Thank you for listening
