Support a Do Not Mail Registry!

Just as the Do Not Call Registry freed Americans from telemarketers, a Do Not Mail Registry would give us the choice to stop junk mailers from violating our privacy, wasting our time and damaging the environment.

Sign our petition today!

Dear Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid:

Five years after the national Do Not Call Registry became the most popular consumer rights bill in history, citizens still face a different form of harassment: junk mail. Every year, Americans receive about 105 billion pieces of junk mail like credit card offers, coupons, and catalogs -- that's 848 pieces of junk mail per household. Even though 44% of that mail goes to the landfill unopened, we still spend eight months of our lives dealing with it all.
 
Junk mail is more than just an annoyance; it's an environmental crisis. Every year, junk mail production destroys 100 million trees, creating global warming emissions equivalent to the emissions from nine million cars.
 
We deserve the right to protect our privacy and our time. We deserve clean air and forest protection. We, the undersigned, support the creation of a national Do Not Mail Registry to provide a simple and comprehensive way for us to say no to junk mail.

Sincerely,

72580	November 19, 2008	BOBBIE GREENHUT		PORT ST. LUCIE, FORIDA, US	it's terribly annoying and a waste of paper that most do not repond to anyway...
72579	November 19, 2008	Anonymous		, IL, US	It's completely unnecessary. If I am interested in something I will search the net to find it.
72578	November 19, 2008	Tina Houchin		, OH, US	It is a waste of paper and too much goes to landfills.
72577	November 19, 2008	Anthony Stray		, CA, US	I never read 99.99% of the junk mail that I receive. Some of the mail is from the same companies that I never read, so they're sending me repeated offers that I have no intention of ever even reading, let alone applying for. I would love to be able to opt out of all of that unsolicited mail.
72576	November 19, 2008	Anonymous		, CA, US	I NEVER look at it, it ALWAYS gets thrown right in the trash. HATE, HATE, HATE IT! Did I mention that I hate junk mail? Boycott businesses that use junk mail!

72573	November 19, 2008	Anonymous		, WA, US	It's a waste of natura/ & human resources and I NEVER read anything I have not requested myself.

72571	November 19, 2008	Connie Adler		Silver City, NM, US	The amount of junk mail is growing. It is a complete waste, most goes into recycling unopened. This means trees are wasted and that is criminal. Tell these advertisers to use the internet.
