A New "Do Not Call List"

With the 2008 election now less than a year away it won't be long before the campaigning for candidates and issues starts intruding on our personal lives. Whether we want it to or not.

The TV commercials will be bad enough. Wouldn't it be nice to avoid all of the phone calls we'll be interrupted with? That's why I'd like to see a new "Do Not Call List" similar to that which is available to avoid calls from telemarketers. This list would be an "Election Do Not Call List" that would prevent any political candidate, action committee, whatever, from calling us and extolling why we should vote their way.
