At the Keim Reunion last weekend, I was talking with my cousin, John, about the problem of receiving telemarketing calls in the evening. He said that in Kansas he was able to take advantage of a state “Do Not Call” list. Well, the good news is that the National Do Not Call List went live last week.

It isn’t a panacea. The list will only prevent certain telemarketers. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship. So, the Sheriff’s Association and the Brotherhood of Firefighters will probably still be calling.
Be sure to check out the Frequently Asked Questions, though. It mentions that if you ask an organization to quit calling, it must do so or face the possibility of an $11,000 fine.
