Remember that nifty "Do Not Call" list you registered for some time ago with tens of millions of your best friends? We're betting you didn't know that there was a time limit involved.
It's true. The original program was only designed as a short-run measure. Now the House of Representatives wants to make it permanent and has overwhelmingly voted to make the status permanent and continue funding operations from telemarketing firms. These are both good measures that are long overdue.
But don't forget that certain calls are exempt. They include calls from businesses with which you have established or continued a relationship, charities, and our favorite, political calls. The CCD, a non-profit group in Washington, is continuing its efforts to compile a do not call list that would be voluntary for politicians. As the 2008 presidential elections come up next year, we can't think of any smarter move you can make since registration is free. Visit StopPoliticalCalls.org to add your name to the political do not call list.
