> making them off-limits to those annoying early evening sales calls.

> privacy did so even as their organization waged a legal campaign to
> prevent federal regulators from protecting the privacy of millions of
> other Americans.
>
> Included on the list are two senior vice presidents, three vice
> presidents, and four directors. Two people on the Do Not Call registry
> were listed as DMA executives in the company's 2002 annual report, but
> have retired from the organization within the last year.
