Comments:

I would like to simply state that I do NOT want to be called on either my home phone or cell phone at any time by any person or entity, whether the message is live or pre-recorded, for the purpose of selling me a product or service regardless of whether I have "an established business relationship". NEVER. NOT EVER. It is an invasion of my privacy by parasites, and I resent it just as much as I did when telemarketing first appeared. I can't even count the number of interruptions during dinner, bathing, domestic disputes, and even phone conversations by annoying sales calls. If I am looking for a price, product, or service, I am perfectly capable of finding it for myself. The Do Not Call list is a great thing; I only wish it went further in protecting people's privacy. Sincerely, George Weide
