I disagree. It is not a TOTAL failure. Telemarketers make the vast majority
of unsolicited calls and this seems to stop them. If polititions and
charities lost thier exemption, then it would be a complete sucess.

I don't know about you, but this past election season this house
received three calls a day average for the last four weeks of the
