Betcha a dozen, or more, other states have them too.

What a waste of friggan time.

Oh yeah, some 11-12% of Americans live at or below the poverty line....Whatever, gotta waste oxygen on solicitor legislation...Yes it's a real issue but holy hell there have got to be more pressing issues today!

1. Oregon Has One

And it costs a few dollars a year to be put on the list. But I've always wondered if it blocked unsolicited calls from around the country, or just in-state.

2. Kansas has one and it works.

The number of obnoxious calls went dramatically down for me after I signed the no-call list for the state.

3. Indiana has had one for quite a while

maybe going on 2 years?

You are on to something - make a big deal about a little issue while there are HUGE issues being ignored by the media (and public).

4. NC is trying to implement ours, and the repuke judges have blocked it!

It's not a trivial matter to us. Distraction? Maybe, for a few days. We NEED this.

5. Idaho has one

and it's working very well.

6. guess the boiler-room industry has crappy lobbyists

congress taking steps to protect consumers from predatory business practices is a rare occurance indeed.

7. Kentucky Too

8. NY has had a no-call law for a year and a half already

[DemoTex]

9. Texas has no-call.

Seems to work very well for me.

12. But you have to pay for it

The national do not call list is free.

[Junkdrawer]

10. PA has one too...but if this Free Speech thing gets traction...

all of us may be back to hanging up on the bastards - or buying one of those zapper boxes.
