Sign up now!

No, I'm not selling something. I'm actually informing you of the NATIONAL do not call list. Go here and sign up your land line and your cell phone and any other number you can think of. If you're like me, and I know I am, I hate interrupting my video game or movie enjoyment to tell a telemarketer to go bugger himself. Obviously there will be some exceptions; pollsters (although I've never been polled), non-for-profit organizations, your phone company and any company you've done business with in the last 18 months. Once you sign up, telemarketers have 3 months to become compliant. After that you can report that company to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and that company can be fined up to $10,000 per offense. It went into effect last night according to the President's statement, they've been registering 108 people per second. Neat. That loud cursing sound will be telemarketers after they realize they can only call 5 people in the country.
