Lugar & Bayh ask FCC to respect Indiana Do Not Call

According to James Wensits of the South Bend Tribune, Senators Lugar and Bayh have asked the FCC not to preempt Indiana’s do not call list. It’s good to see bipartisan support on a no-brainer like this. I think most Hoosiers would agree they don’t want Indiana’s do-not-call law watered down in favor of the Consumer Bankers’ Association’s request to be permitted to make telemarketing call on the basis of an “established business relationship” consisting of nothing more than a citizen paying a bill or using a credit card sometime in the prior 18 months.
