“The FCC is obligated by Congress & the American people, to reduce unwanted robocalls and telemarketing,” said Margot Saunders, senior attorney @nclc4consumers.bsky.social “This proposed rulemaking falls woefully short of that obligation." #EndRobocalls #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/fcc-proposal...

“The right to tell robocallers to stop calling, and hold them accountable in court when they don’t, is a critical line of defense,” said Patrick Crotty @nclc4consumers.bsky.social. “The FCC’s proposal threatens to strip away that right.” #EndRobocalls #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/new-rules-wi...

“The regulation was widely supported as a means to restore trust in the U.S. telephone system."

By cutting the onslaught of telemarketing calls, providers will be better able to identify & block dangerous scam calls. #EndRobocalls @publicjustice.bsky.social www.nclc.org/after-fcc-ab...

“Instead of removing effective protection against robocalls, the FCC should address the increasing number of unwanted and illegal robocalls plaguing telephone subscribers,” said Patrick Crotty @nclc4consumers.bsky.social #ProtectConsumers #EndRobocalls www.nclc.org/fcc-proposal...

“The regulation was widely supported as a means to restore trust in the U.S. telephone system, by a bipartisan coalition of state Attorneys General, as well as the telephone industry,” said Margot Saunders at NCLC. #EndRobocalls #ProtectConsumers www.nclc.org/consumers-de...

Take action: Tell your lawmakers to pass the strongest anti-robocall law possible! #EndRobocalls https://t.co/ErN2Y818In

“Comments complaining about regulations come from callers who want to be free to bombard consumers and small businesses with unwanted calls without cost or consequence. If the calling industry is successful ... everyone will suffer.” #ProtectConsumers #EndRobocalls www.nclc.org/advocates-to...
