AI Summary

  • Memorializes Congress to oppose H.R. 3035, the Mobile Informational Call Act of 2011, which would allow businesses to make prerecorded informational calls to cellular phones without consumer consent
  • Opposes the bill because it would weaken privacy protections currently provided by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227)
  • Argues that removing restrictions on telemarketer calls to cell phones would dramatically increase unwanted interruptions in work, school, and social settings while potentially increasing consumer costs through excess minute usage
