Congress May Permit Robot Calls To Cell Phones

TCPALaw writes "While many hoaxes have circulated in the past about cell phone numbers being opened up to telemarketers, it now may actually happen. A bill, HR 3035 (PDF), has been introduced in Congress, that would create numerous exceptions to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which banned autodialed and prerecorded robot calls to cell phone numbers. If passed, HR 3035 would permit a wide range of autodialed and prerecorded calls to cell phones that are currently prohibited, and would preempt practically all state laws providing similar protections. This is being applauded by debt collectors and banks (PDF) ... as if the bailouts weren't enough, now they get to make you pay for their calls to you."

I know the tea party does not have the right answer. It is unquestionable. To hold america hostage, the threaten the nations prosperity in order to remove someone for being the first black president is fucking treason.

The tea party has a simple agenda.
1: Get Obama out of office.
2: repeal all social progress.
3: ensure all wealth accumulates in the hands of the billionaires.
4: enslave the middle class to enrich the billionaires.
5: allow the poor to die in starvation and sickness.

Fuck them and anyone who has even a tiny bit of sympathy for their agenda and goals.

Or we could just, you know, stop waging war all over the globe and not have to increase taxes. Nice use of false dichotomy, though.
