Hoosiers Urged to Protect Telemarketing Ban

Republican State Representative Bill Ruppel of North Manchester is urging Hoosiers to tell a federal agency how they feel about getting telemarketing calls from banks. The Consumer Bankers Association (CBA) has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow out of state banks to call people at home. The FCC is seeking public input on the issue. To comment on the CBA’s petition, visit the FCC’s web site at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi and enter "Proceeding Number" 02-278 in field number one of the form.
