    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

Posted on August 19, 2009 by Riley

FYI…

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.

REMINDER…. all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you may/will start to receive sales calls.

…… YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222. It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a
minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds.

    This is a rumor being spread around the internet. I cannot find factual information about this anywhere.

    I saw the snopes, but also just heard this today from someone in the gov’t. Now, they may have been duped, but as snopes says, it doesn’t hurt to add your cell phone to this list.

    who would be releasing all of these numbers from so many companies anyway? who would be in charge of such an action? await your answer!

    Never mind

    I just got a call about this Hoax at work from a staff member, but it was about the Australian Do Not Call List.

    This is FALSE. The FCC does not allow telemarketing to cell phones. Sure, it doesn’t hurt to add your number to the list but you are spreading misinformation and fear.

    This is linked from the Do Not Call web site operated by the FTC:
    http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt107.shtm

    “Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry?

    Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.

    You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent. “

    Is it possible that when calling and leaving our number that we are leaving it with people who are using this to misuse the numbers themselves?

    @Marie Glass, the actually do not call list is legit. Please see http://www.ftc.gov/donotcall
