Telemarketers - fooey, not that I want another law!


Our government passed a law to help us enjoy the peace and comfort of our homes or life style, but they either made the law so weak or it is non-enforceable? Millions of us signed up for the “Dot Not Call Registry.” It worked for a while then the clever salesmen found ways and means to circumvent the intent of the program. I do not care if you are engaged in anything from driving, to doing house work, or taking a nap, it is certain the phone will ring. Bless those who work night shifts and might be having an afternoon with their spouse. The phone rings and you fidget to get it from your pocket or walk to the cradle in another room. Yes it is Ann from Card Services or some other finagling outfit does not have the courtesy to allow their name to come through on the caller I. D. You can pay to have a number blocked but they call from an unblocked number.  

After what has been written into the Federal Register we continue to be harassed in our privacy or engaged in tasks that require our attention. If our Congressman Andrews could spend his efforts writing the Affordable Care Act, which does not seem to be suitable for implementation, why can’t he put the bug in someone’s’ ear to correct the ‘Do No Call Registry’ and enforce a law that works.
