Congress Quickly Votes to Reinstate Do-Not-Call Registry ((Senate, too))

[FlashHarry]

On edit: they've updated their original story with the Senate info.

Also on edit: I've updated the original 'breaking' headline to reflect the current headline.

<snip>
The Senate voted, 95 to 0, late this afternoon in favor of the legislation, following the 412-to-8 vote in the House earlier in the day.

1. I'm damned glad they got important things done first.

I think they ALL need to be fired. Recall anyone?

[FlashHarry]

3. That was my first thought. It's amazing how fast they can work...

...when they want to.

2. Bush won't sign it!

He'll be needing a job in 2005.

[NicoleM]

5. he'll have to move out of the country

because that's where all the telemarketing jobs will be by then. Unless he works for one of those companies who outsource those jobs to prisons. :evilgrin:

8. Well, he praised the DNC project last year.

Ohhhhhhh..."DNC"
HAHAHAHA

11. Sure He Will!

"Bush won't sign it!"

Not even Bush is that stupid.

4. Now....................

we'll see how much they contributed to the Kennebunkport Kowboy's Kampaign!! Will he sign it?

[Noordam]

6. He has to they would over ride his VETO

:evilgrin:

7. he damn well better

there are 50 million phone #'s registered to 'do not call' and that means a certain percentage are 2 voters, or more, so that's a chunk of voters wanting this.

but then, he could just piss on 'em as usual.

My state (NC) announced on the evenews that they have a back up plan already in state law in case it didn't pass, but didn't think it would be necessary.

12. It's not a "registry"-- it's a

"FOCUS GROUP"

and thus will be ignored by the deserter-in-thief (just like the anti-war protests).

9. Chuckle Chuckle

Hard core RW'ers refer to this as another "Big Government" program. "Almost like Hillarycare".

10. I bet there's a federal judge feeling pretty sheepish right about now.
