Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, every campaign season, like clockwork, families are bombarded by an endless stream of political robocalls. There is little voters can do to stop the annoyance, which all too often comes right in the middle of family dinners and bedtimes, because politicians made sure to exempt themselves from the power of the Do Not Call Registry. That is why I have introduced legislation, H.R. 740, to stop the intrusion of political robocalls in homes across America. The Robo Calls Off Phones Act, or Robo COP Act, directs the Federal Trade Commission to revise its regulations regarding the National Do Not Call Registry and prohibit prerecorded campaign messages from being sent to telephone numbers on the national registry. It gives the American people the opportunity to opt out of these bothersome interruptions. Removing the exemption for political robocalls is a matter of fairness that will help bring some peace and quiet to homes throughout the campaign season. ____________________”
