Comments:

I resent being contacted by Telemarketers at any time even if it is from an organization to which I contribute. If I receive a recorded message, I simply hang up. If I have something to say or a question to ask of anyone to whom I contribute or whose services I use, I will pick up the phone and call them. Any special offer they have can be mailed to me. It is especially annoying to receive a call when you are about to sit down to dinner, have just arrived home after driving in commute traffic, are watching a special program on tv, are in the middle of reading a book or writing a letter, etc. Additionally, what right do the TM's have to call you by your first name as if you are receiving a personal call. That is the limit. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT STOPPING THIS TYPE OF SALES!
