Don't give the federal govt more power.

What is the source of your assertion that the federal government, rather than the individual phone owner, is placing people on the DNC list?

The govt will use its power to prosecute those who do not honor the list. THAT is an abuse of federal power.

Sheesh! some of the people on this thread remind me of the ACLU lawyers suing to be free FROM religion, and the rights of others to have freedom OF religion MUST be curtailed.

Before I get flamed, let me point out that I don't think Religious freedom and telemarketing are equal. I am merely pointing out that the mindset that "I have a right to not be uncomfortable" is getting pervasive in this country.
