Join thousands of
Private Citizen members across America who enjoy their right to
be left alone. Private Citizen is America's first, and
most effective organization of its type to cut your junk calls
and junk mail.
Cut Junk
Calls - $20 Basic Annual
Membership
You will be listed in the
Private Citizen
Directory, a do-not-call list sent to over
1,000 local / national junk call firms
and list sellers across North America. The
Directory
notifies them of your unwillingness to be freely junk called or
have your name sold, and
warns them of
your $500 fee if they use your telephone to solicit
you. Private Citizen members consider any phone
solicitation to be a junk call; sales, survey, non-profit, and
political calls.
Members get information on telemarketing laws, and since junk
callers don't know which of us will sue if they refuse to pay,
they avoid us like a mine field. Our members report a
75% drop in junk calls. We've helped our colleagues collect
more than $3 Million from
telemarketers.
By calling 888-382-1222 you can
place your home / cell phone number on the national do-not-call
list; a free federal program. Sadly, the federal program
does not stop political, survey or charity calls. Note: Private Citizen includes all types of junk
calls. Indeed, a Congressional report recommends
the use of Private Citizen's Do-Not-Call Directory.
Cut Junk Mail -
$10
Basic Annual Membership
We copy and send the `junk mail' portion of your
Authorization to Congress and the eight largest list sales and
junk mail firms named on it. One firm mails 350 million ads a
week. Another sells data on 90% of Americans. Our
members also get access to a little known federal law that
many call `The Ultimate Junk Mail Weapon
'. It requires any mailer of commercial ads that you
object to, to stop mailing you: PERIOD!
Most importantly, every new Private Citizen member adds
another voice to promote effective privacy
regulation on state and national levels.
We also publish 'So... You want
to Sue a Telemarketer'; a book which
contains (and explains) federal telemarketing laws and FCC
regulations. It also reviews the broader (and more
effective) legal framework which Private Citizen members
use to stop the calls. It can be ordered by using our Membership Form .
