And That Goes for You Too

Bush is expected to sign the Do Not Call List into law today. Bush's spokesperson, Scott McClellan, says the president thinks people "should have the right to prevent unwanted telemarketing calls that are intrusive and annoying." But this act only allows you to block commercial calls and not those from non-profits or -surprisingly enough- calls from political parties. Why are sales calls anymore annoying than someone calling for campaign donations or firemen calling about tickets for a fundraising ball? If Congress and the president were really interested in preventing annoying intrusions, they should apply it to themselves.
