Re: Friday Funny
In New York State an excellent law was enacted last year that mandates a $2000 fine per occasion
against any cold-calling, for-profit telemarketer who contacts anyone who has signed up on the
voluntary statewide "Do Not Call" list.
Since that law went into effect, the frequency of commercial phone intrusions on my privacy and
serenity has dropped to a fraction.
Moreover, even though I'm a registered Democrat, I do not hesitate to praise the bill's original
sponsor, my own state senator, Republican John DeFrancisco. He should be governor and the feds
should enact a similar law.
Cheers!
Eric
