Fed-up voters can register for no-call list

Fed-up voters can register
for no-call list
The Blade's Aug. 28
editorial about robocalls was
well-timed. The general election is in full
swing and it looks like,
again, Ohio will be a "battleground state" that
may determine who is
the next president. That means voters can
expect to be bombarded with
political robocalls.
I started a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization
last year to combat
intrusive robocalls by using a voluntary,
private-sector solution, the
Political Do Not Contact
Registry.
It's similar to the federal Do Not Call list
but to succeed it requires
politicians who will honor the wishes of voters
who'd rather not endure
the endless, robotic, political phone calls
during campaign
season.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.) was the first to
sign our pledge and we
now have six state and national politicians who
have signed a
no-robocall pledge.
Voters' phones will soon be ringing off the
hook. Fed up voters can
visit our web site at StopPoliticalCalls.org
and add their names to our
free Do Not Call registry. It's time we give
the political dialogue
back to average, concerned
citizens.
