On Monday we linked to a poll on Examiner.com that asked the question “Do we need a Do Not Mail Registry?” I voted, wrote up the blog post, and then basically forgot about it. It’s just an online poll, and online polls are less likely to reflect public opinion than to reflect who linked to it and encouraged people to vote a certain way. Like us!
So I was amused to check it today (left) and see that the current result is almost exactly the same as the much more authoritative 2007 Zogby poll, which showed that 89% of Americans support Do Not Mail.
The junk mail industry can’t actually convince Americans not to support Do Not Mail, but I’m somewhat surprised that they haven’t tried to take advantage of easily-manipulated online polls like this.
I am in totaly support of do-not-call. This also applies to
unsolicited e-mail
If I do not give out my address, who gives someone else the
right to give my info out.
I am in accord with your efforts to block junk mail. However, I do not
understand how to sign the petition.
