Do Not Robo Call

Dear Editor

Your September 19th article, Editorial: Do not call, do not knock was well timed.

The general election is in full swing and that means voters in NC 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.
