Self-serving loopholes for charities and political organizations

February 18, 2012

Once again, lawmakers have created a self-serving loophole regarding Do Not Call lists ("Government cracks down on robocalls," Feb. 16): Charities and political organizations are exempt.

Charities are organizations whose mission is to serve the needs of others, whereas political organizations tend to be self-serving. I personally cannot recall ever receiving a robocall from a charitable organization.

Laws to restrict junk mailings also provide exemptions to political organizations. What's up with that?
