Comments:

I consider any telephone solicitation, survey, recorded message, informational, etc. an invasion of my privacy and an unauthorized use of my telephone number. It is a violation of the do not call law. Whether I receive one of these calls a month or thirty, none are welcome. My telephone service is mine; I pay for it and pay the taxes that pay your salaries. Until the FTC pays for my total telephone service, it has no right to decide for me that I wish to be bothered by nuisance calls. When my telephone rings at home, it is either someone that I wish to speak with or a hospital emergency room. I do not want it any other way!
