Newspaper Makes an Interesting Point on why Banning All Unsolicited Calls Might be A Bad Idea


From the Cherry Creek News:
"Senate Bill 48 would prohibit political automated (known as robo- calls) or live unsolicited telephone calls unless there is a pre- existing relationship between the organization and the person they are calling.
