HOUSE APPROVES NEW AUTHORITY TO FTC FOR DO NOT CALL
Takes away Judges reason to block the National Registry

AP/YAHOO reports that the House approved legislation at ensuring the national "do-not-call" list goes into effect as scheduled next week to help consumers block unwanted telemarketing sales pitches. The move less than 24 hours after Federal Judge Lee R. West, who ruled Tuesday that the Federal Trade Commission lacked authority to create and operate the registry.

The House voted 412-8 after an hour of debate.

Amazing how quickly Congress can move when it has an interest.
