No-Call List

To Whom It May Concern,

I am 100 % behind the No-Call List proposal.  The Direct marketing Association wants me to pay them to take my name off their list.  I never authorized the selling of my name in the first place.

It is clear they are not capable of policing their members and because of their inept efforts or that of their inept members.  Every telemarketer that calls me gets my standard line TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST.  The calls NEVER STOP. I know people who change their answering machine messages or just turn them off.  These are unsolicited calls.  I know people with private unlisted numbers who get calls.  Whom ever is "selling this information" to DMA also needs to be stopped.

What is more outrageous is they The DMA want $5.00 from every person who request their personal information be deleted.  I pay taxes already and welcome close scrutiny of telemarketing.  The DMA should not profit and have sanctions, and be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their members.  I gladly support the FTC's proposal.  

Why do they make money from selling my information with out my permission? Then have the gall to tell me I have to pay them $5.00 to have my information deleted.
