1) nice, but unconstitutional [by newmark on January 10, 2008] If it passes, my bet is that it would be thrown out in court on 1st Amendment. Reply
2) Great idea [by Anonymous Citizen on November 28, 2007] It will never pass, but what a great idea. How about a 'no caller' list for political calls. Wouldn’t candidates want to identify those of us who will not vote for anybody who wastes our time with automated calls? Maybe they sway addle minded old folks, but these calls just piss the rest of us off. Reply
