	Subscribe to the National Do-Not-Call List As a result of federal regulations, you may place your name on a list that will prevent telemarketers from calling you or face a stiff penalty. You can register now, either by calling 1-888-382-1222 or on-line at www.donotcall.gov.  If you call, you must call from the number you want removed.  The registration is good for five years, and is renewable after that. The new regulations do permit a few categories of callers.  Charities, polls, and political calls will be permitted.  In addition, you may still be called by a company with which you have conducted business in the past 18 months, although you can opt out of those calls by requesting to be removed when they call you.
