People fought & died for the priviledge to vote, & you have the NERVE to equate it with Telemarketing!! And unless your claiming to be a "public service", you aren't likely to be helping the government.
The government doesn't need phone convassers to "gain an idea of how people think", voting tells them that.
As far as companies, if a company truely has a "customer service" function within, & actually listens to consumers & takes action, they don't need to pay a 3rd party to harrass people at home & at work, they'll get plenty of ideas & useful suggestions from consumers, customers, vendors, etc. directly volenteered to them.
You don't seem to realize that there are thousands of 'companies'like yours & they ALL call. I had 28 last week, as I look at my caller id record. Are we supposed to just quit earning our incomes so we can be readily available to support yours? And with rampant identity theft attempts, research whether your even ligitimate or a Scam, Spam, Pfisher, etc.?
As far as getting paid, my point was that I don't understand how it is that you people think you actually have a RIGHT to take people's time for you own personal gain.
And as long as your calling "Just Annoyed" a liar, you have to call me one, also, since I have had the same number of calls in ONE 24 hour period from the same source!
