I think it would be a horrible reinvasion of our privacy to allow telemarketers to phone using prerecorded messages. Since I have been on the do not call list I have received many calls from telemarketers saying that I had made an inqury about their product or service and that they are following up to see if I want to buy,use, or purchase their item. Not once Had I ever made any inqury ever,it is just their underhanded way of getting around the dnc rule. So,I hope that you DO NOT give them an expanded means of contacting people at all hours of the day and night to try and sell their products etc. After all, if I want something I am fully able to research and obtain what- ever I need on my own. Even now whenever I get a prerecorded call I hang up before the caller even gets to whatever they are selling. Finally, if you think this is the ranting of some antisales person who thinks all people in sales are scum, I am a sales rep and have been for 24 years. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS INTRUSION INTO OUR ALREADY BUSY LIVES!!!!!
