Schumer do-not-call protections advance

Posted by: Liz Anderson - Posted in 2007, Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senate on Dec 18, 2007

Sen. Chuck Schumer’s bill to extend “do not call” registry protections has passed the U.S. Senate.

The original legislation, which allows people to opt out from most telemarketing calls, includes a provision that the protections expire after five years. That means a host of consumers could find their numbers back in the public domain in 2008. Schumer’s bill would prevent the protections from expiring.

Nationwide, over 55 million telephone numbers have been registered with the Do Not Call Registry, according to Schumer; that includes 614,598 phone numbers in the 845 area code and 598,998 phone numbers in the 914 area code.

   The Ten Commandments Of Employment… 1. If it rings, put it on hold. 2. If it clunks, call the repairman. 3. If it whistles, ignore it. 4. If it’s a friend, stop work and chat. 5. If it’s the boss, look busy. 6. If it talks, take notes. 7. If it’s handwritten, type it. 8. if it’s typed, copy it. 9. If it’s copied, file it. 10. If it’s Friday, forget it!

   Work is too serious joke a little!
