Does your "service agreement" with the city allow "visits" from anyone, even unwanted visitors, too? I don't think so. I think trespass laws come into play with the phone as well as your living room. Will they next insist they have the right to force us to listen to their spiels? (I wouldn't put it past them.)

What most people (not all, I've seen some mention it) are missing is that the ban in no way infringes on telemarketers' free speech rights. They can speak all they want. There is no right that forces us to listen.

Another thing: if the telemarketers keep it up, they just might find their sales plummeting. Sometimes when people get mad, really, really mad, they vote with their checkbooks.

Just a warning to any of you in the telemarketing business.

I have no "service agreement" with my county. I have posted proper no trespassing signs and I also have a locked gate. On the other hand, signing up for phone service is putting out the welcome mat.
