In Colorado we have a "No Call List" that was introduced just a couple months ago. All soliciters must buy the list and there are fines if they get caught calling someone on the list. You can call or get on the list via the internet. It really works too! Just plain awesome! I've only had one call since it was introduced.

However, I have trained myself, to very politely request to be put on the 'do-not-call' list of every single telemarketer that has called in the last year or so. Guess what? I average about 1, _maybe_ 2 calls a month now. Hehehe....it works. The hardest parts were trying to remember to not just hangup or be rude to the TM'r and to remember to tell them to remove me from the calling list. I've actually gotten too good at now. I start to tell people I know, who call me, Me: "Would you please put me on...uh....erm....DOH!" Caller: "What was that Brandon?" Me: "Forget it. Just forget it." Sigh.....
