Dear friends,
I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your name to mine? If this petition gets 99,999 signatures by February 28, 2017, the White House will review it and respond!
We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the White House to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets enough support, the White House will issue an official response. Please take a moment to view and if you choose, sign the petition. Once you have signed, feel free to send the link on to all of your friends on Facebook or Twitter. If we get enough signatures, the Whitehouse may look into the issue. IF we do nothing, the disturbing calls will continue unabated.
You can view and sign the petition here:

Here's some more information about this petition:
Please work to make the "Do Not Call" list effective. Scams and robocalls are rampant.
The original Do Not Call list was a good start, but it has become an ineffective tool against annoying telemarketers who just have a computer dialing numbers and giving pitch lines until someone picks up the phone. We are advised by law enforcement to not answer calls we don't recognize, and to hang up with out saying a word to avoid being scammed. We pay the phone bill for our own convenience; to call out to friends and family, and to place calls in the event of an emergency.... not to let telemarketers and scammers get a foot in the door to our homes. Please make the rules lean towards not letting them call in the first place, and make it easier for those that pay the bills to alert the authorities so they can effectively and mercilessly prosecute those who do break the law. Thank you!
