OK Judge Flooded with Calls from Angry Consumers

[MountainLaurel]

District Judge Lee R. West's telephone has not stopped ringing since he sided with telemarketers seeking to block a popular national do-not-call list.

Egged on by talk show hosts and angry Web sites, people have flooded West's office and home with calls and faxes, apparently trying to show him why they wanted to ban unsolicited sales calls. :spank:

"They are just calling to tie up our lines," said Rick Wade, operations manager at the district clerk's office. "They just keep calling to harass us, like the telemarketers harass them, I guess."

Mr. Wade seems to have the correct take on the situation. But will anyone else get the point? :shrug:

To all those who called -- :yourock:
