Comments:

I do not want to receive unsolicited phone calls at my home or on my cell phone. This includes live persons and prerecorded messages. I do not care whether I do business with these companies or not, I do not wish to receive their call. If I have a need or problem I can contact them. I consider this an invasion of my privacy. To allow this to happen would be wrong. I should be able to stop these calls in a relatively simple manner. To have to call each company after I receive their call and request to be taken off their call lists is an infringement on my time which isn't right. Also, to recieve these calls on my cell phone is a charge against my minutes that I pay for. I should have control over my cell phone minutes not these companies, which will usually place their calls during peak daytime hours which will cost me, not them. How is this fair? Please let me know. I am against the control for these calls being lightened or lifted. Please protect my privacy rights. Sincerely, Cynthia Stiff
