CONSUMERS; YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THAT CRAP!

Time to eat a meal in peace, sleep soundly till noon, not have a mountain of junk mail on your entrance way table, find the important e-mails among the ones for Viagra and health insurance, and let soliticitors in general know you won't stand for any more pestering.

Remember, if you signed up for the "Do Not Call Registry" you should be covered, but if someone violates the rules, you need to go to the site and file a complaint.

Here are some addresses and phone numbers to simplify your life and bring you some peace:
