Yet another example of twisted Republican logic:

[Towlie]

This is about "ringless voice mail messages", and efforts to allow blocking them.

----------------------------

Slate noted that the Republican National Committee is among the larger entities pushing the FCC to allow companies to send voicemails directly into phone. To block such messages, the RNC has argued, may interfere with political organizations’ right to free speech.

----------------------------

So in their world, freedom of speech means freedom to force people to listen to you.

1. All this means is that the republicans and the RNC have accepted the campaign

donations of telecom companies...

[Historic NY]

2. They should fix the DNC list I'm sick of all the unwanted calls....

Verizon won't even let me block them w/o paying even more.

3. I have caller ID

If I don't recognize the number I don't pick it up. If it goes to voicemail/ answering machine I listen in if they leave a message which most don't.

But why should I have to pay for an unwanted call on my cellphone?

4. Coincidence that Mercer invests in (Alfa Bank)Mikhail Fridman's telecommunications company VEON /

Vimplecom???


Just a thought...

[Wounded Bear]

5. Very "freedom of religion" of them...

[nocalflea]

6. Typical. The likelihood of the RNC calling me is pretty effing small.

Can't remember the last time they bothered, probably '00.
But the dems would more than likely follow suit , if effective .

7. IF I AM FORCED to listen to Sean Hannity I would rather break my phone!
