Comments:

The Do Not Call list is working well for my family, and everyone I know who has signed up has seen a marked reduction in the number of unwanted calls they receive. The word 'unwanted' is key here. If I want to contact any company, organization or person, there are so many ways to find them: phone books, 411, 800-555-1212, internet searches - it's very unlikely that a person could not find a number they really want to call. On the other hand, loosening the rules for Do Not Call would mean we all would get more unwanted calls. What would that do to my right to privacy? Why should an organization's or corporation's rights supercede my own? Please do not change the rules in the manner proposed. Thank you.
