Congress wrote themselves out of the law, they win, we lose as usual.

I can't speak to cell phone bans, but I do know that there are laws on the books in many states that specifically exempt on-duty police officers from two-way radio and communicator bans.  Maybe there are similar ones in "hands free" areas that exempt them as well.\n\nKeep in mind, that they _usually_ are communicating with other officers (though that surely isn't always the case).

Of the three candidates who has a website listing in the list of nominations, none of them state if they are a member of a polticial party. My only advice would be to contact all of the candidates and ask if they have ever been, are or if elected intend to take the GOP, Dem, Green, Constituition, Libertarian whip or are they pure Independents?

Actually KC is VERY wrong as to the application of FCC guidelines on this issue and the abuse of the robo calls by repugnatcuns read on:\nFCC regulations: automated callers must hang up when the called party hangs up.\n\nThis became an issue after robo-caller systems were preventing people calling 911 in emergencies.  In some cases people died because they could not hang up and get a dialtone because the robocaller would not let go of them.\n\n(Tech background: telco central office switches have traditionally been configured in such a manner that the calling party controls the connection.  The called party has to hang up for between 7 - 10 seconds in order to force the line to disengage.  More recently there have been design changes that minimize this issue, but it is not completely gone.  The goal is that you should always be able to get a new dialtone by hanging up your phone for 1.5 seconds, whether you are the caller or the called party.)\n\nAs a result of the 911 emergency call cases, FCC required that these automated calling systems hang up when the called party hangs up, so the called party can get dial tone back and make an outgoing call.\n\nIt would appear that the dirty tricksters have found a way to circumvent the law by having the system release the line on each call but then keep calling back.  HOWEVER:\n\nIn many states the definition of "obscene, indecent, or harassing phone calls" includes placing repeated calls to a subscriber who does not wish to be called.  This activity obviously qualifies under those statutes; typically the violation is a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to 1 year in prison or a $1,000 fine.  It can be argued that the penalty should apply per call or per called subscriber, in any case this adds up to a potentially very large number of counts of that misdemeanor, which could bankrupt the GOP.   Think of hundreds of thousands of calls, at a $1,000 fine each.  \n\nIt can be argued that the repeat calling also violates the intent of the "release the line" regulations because if a called subscriber has the Call Waiting feature, the additional incoming calls will trigger call waiting signals, which interrupt conversation briefly each time the little "beep" sounds on the line, thereby interfering with the life-or-death conversations of emergency calls.  For example, "He's having a (beep!) attack!"  Was that a heart attack, an epileptic attack, angina, a stroke ("brain attack") or something else?  This angle is at least worth pursuing, and if nothing else, the R's attorneys will have to respond to it if it's raised as part of a civil action.

No, but I got a call like that during the presidential election asking me to vote for Bush (too late, I'd already voted and it wasn't for him).  I think it's a tacky way to campaign.

Certain companies and organizations are exempt from the laws that govern the do not call list.  For example:  charities can call.  Best thing to do is tell them not to call you again and to remove your name from their list.  If you ask them to do that, they have to.\n\nWe had a charity that called here non-stop every day about 6 times a day. I was out of town and son just told them I wasn't home.  Finally, my son got so tired of all the calls and told them I had died!  They then removed my name and number from the list.  We haven't heard from them since.  :)

To answer the question regarding uninvited religions: I have on my door a small sign that says "No religious solicitations".  As far as the other question you've retorted with : go to www.donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 and that will do away with the telemarketers - and yes, without prior notice of one's wanting to see you, it is rude and ill-mannered to interrupt a person's home life.

Once you tell a bill collector to stop calling you they must you on a "Do-Not-Call" list. If they continue to call you just call the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and they should be able to help you out. Yeah I know I used to be a telemarketer.

it is usually volunteers from both main parties.  Electioneering and campaigning is illegal within 100 feet of polling places.

No.  I believe that Nevada is exempt from this.

This is not a list that has been been given to the public.

I couldn't find a national list.  I wanted to say, no state ALLOWS tax on anything.  They REQUIRE collecting tax on certain items/services.  "Allow" implies an option.

There is a national "DO NOT EFFIN' CALL ME" registry list that you can put your cell number on, and your land line too if you still have one and anyone who calls you can be fined for each offense. Google "National do not call registry" to find the website.

Add your telephone number to the Federal Trade Commissions Do Not Call list.

Alot of Australian companies outsource call centres to India as they labour is cheap and most of them can speak, read and write English (albeit badly). A new Do Not Call register will be set up as of June 06 in Australia- so register on that. It lists it on the website of the telecommunication ombudsman!
