DoNotCall Update
That didn't take long.
The Senate and House were expected to consider legislation Thursday that would ensure the free government service goes into effect as scheduled next week, deflecting unwanted sales pitches to more than 50 million registered phone numbers.....Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, introduced bills late Wednesday to give the FTC explicit authority to create and operate the list.
From my lips to Congress' ears? Nah, but I suspect Congressional members got an earful much like the judge did.
After the ruling, angry consumers posted the judge's office and home telephone numbers on Web sites and encouraged people to call and complain. Calls to the West home seeking comment were blocked by busy signals.
I told y'all not to do that.
Heh.
