Sign the Petition. Hang up on the robocalls.
It’s 6:30 p.m. and you’re just sitting down to dinner with the family – and your cell phone vibrates.
It’s a robocall.
This is the new reality for anyone with a mortgage, student loan, or taxpayer the robocaller thinks owes the government money.
In this big gift to debt collectors, Congress made this scenario possible by authorizing "the use of automated telephone equipment to call cellular telephones for the purpose of collecting debts owed to the United States government."
This outrageous giveaway was snuck in last minute to a must-pass funding bill last month. No hearings, no robust debate – it was simply dropped in as a favor to special interest lobbyists that profit from harassing regular Americans.
I’m fighting to repeal it. Join me by adding your name right now. Sign the Petition: tell Congress to pass the Hangup Act and protect Americans from incessant debt collectors!
