However since this activity is not specified as a Federal government
activity per the Constitution, it is the states prerogative to deal or
not deal with this issue. I agree with you that the Federal FTC should
but out.

It is specifically addressed in the Constitution. Sec. 8 - Powers of
Congress:

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States,
and with the Indian Tribes;

Unless those Robo-calls are intrastate, they are under the purview of the
FTC.

Nope. No lobbiests in his administration? Nope. No Earmarks? Nope.
9000 in one bill.

I don't know, but 7 broken promises compared to 7 pages of kept or in the
works promises, seems pretty high in the credibility department.

You're dealing with one of the many right-wing retardos here, in case
you didn't realize it. Their "level" is set by intellectuals like
JustWait, who is dumber than the proverbial post and thinks he has to
prove it every day; herring, who changes his ID here more often than his
socks; flajim, aka yellowstains; lu powell, whose nickname "lu-ser" is
spot-on, and a few others. If you gathered them up for a game of seven
card stud, none of them would be able to shuffle the cards.

Seeing how most conservatives don't want the government intruding on
private business, I wonder how THIS will spin?

The FTC is going to force companies to stop making robo-call sales
calls......

Damned liberals. Now they want people to be able to enjoy their after
work evenings......

How many more laws squashing freedom of speech do you guys want? And
when are you going to stop the bull**** that the repubs want this or
that?

Do you not want smaller government and less interference with private
business?

You actually mean the FTC will finally do their job? You mean they
will finally earn their bloated salaries instead of on-the-job-
retirement? I am truly shocked.

Quick explanation of why: The adults are back in charge in DC.

You are just not allowed here to address the direct lies Obama told to
get elected... Half of the country knew he was full of ****, I mean, one
and one is still two but please, please stop pointing out the direct and
deliberate lies...

But, YOU said that Bush was history, therefore irrelevant. What Obama
said is also history, therefore, irrelevant...

of keeping his promises:

for more bad behavior". You really do put us all in one bucket don't
you?
