Statement by the Press Secretary: President Commends Vote on "Do Not Call" Registry

The President commends the Federal Trade Commission for voting to create a national "Do Not Call" registry to allow consumers the option to stop unwanted telephone solicitations. Time with family is a precious commodity, and families should be given the tools they need to help prevent unwanted calls from telemarketers. Today's action by the FTC to approve the creation of a national "Do Not Call" registry will make it easier for consumers to stop getting the sales calls they do not want.
