The Do Not Call Dilema

            The editorial article that I have chosen comes from the Wall Street Journal on September 29th. The title of the article is "The Do-Not-Call Dilemma" and as stated in the title concerns the justification and rebuttal of the recent actions of the government to enforce its do-not-call list. This is an issue that concerns approximately fifty million Americans of all ages. How many of you sitting in this room now have been called by an agency and would just wish they would not call anymore? Probably all of you. These laws help Americans set limits on public intrusion and trespassing into their homes. Why should we welcome unwanted speech into our homes? Shouldn't our government protect us from this? Finally our government has taken the proper actions with this and made its official do-not-call list, however there is one loop-hole that undermines the whole law. With these new laws and restrictions the government has excluded all political organizations and charities. Being that the very point of this law is to prevent unwanted intrusions into American homes why does this exclude are government. This loop-hole is a violation to the First Amendment by deciding what types of speech Americans can and cannot hear. If we want to stop marketers or politicians from disrupting our home life the choice should be ours. If Congress is serious about its attempts to stop intrusive home solicitations then member should include themselves among potential intruders. No one including the government should have he right to trespass. Why should the members of congress be able to differentiate which intrusions into American homes are just ones? I am suggesting that this do-not-call list be taken a step further to include government and charity agencies. I am not saying that automatically we should just stop these additional types of calls but what I am suggesting is the option to stop them. I do not feel that these calls should be embedded into the recently enacted laws but be made an additional option to make this law fair to all.
