From today's New York Times comes another article about political robocalling:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/25/us/politics/25calls.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
The article describes rising public antipathy to political robocalls, which are not required to observe "do not call" lists and predicts that a growing number of states will prohibit such calls, with penalties ascribed to those to do use robocalls. From the article: "The proposed penalties mostly involve fines. In Michigan, a person found guilty of making a prohibited call could be charged with a misdemeanor, and could face up to 90 days in jail, as well as fines."
A question: Would the penalties apply to those who initiated the call, IE: hired the service provider, recorded the message, provided the list of telephone numbers to call, or to the service provider, or to both?
