Ban Robo Telephone Calls (with certain exceptions)
It is time to put a stop to all robo phone calls unless one has given written permission for the entity to call you. The ban should include sales, surveys, solicitation of any kind and all political calls. There should be substantial fines for those who invade one's privacy.
Why is this important?
Robocalls are becoming a vast nuisance. Even though I have been on the "Do Not Call" list since they started, I get at least two or three, often more robocalls which tie up the phone that I pay for, interupt what I am doing and are an invasion of my privacy. These calls should include all political calls, solicitation and sales calls. The only calls that should be permitted should be from local governments for emergencies, schools for the same reason or calls that one has given written permission to be made. These calls even come in on my cell phone which costs me minutes.
