Nixon Calls For "No Spam" Law Modeled On "No Call" List

The success of the state’s “no call” telephone solicitation list has prompted Attorney General Jay Nixon and a couple of state lawmakers to try to come up with a similar law governing computer e-mail. Nixon, State Senator Wayne Goode of St. Louis, and Representative Chuck Graham of Columbia have announced plans for a “no spam” list. Nixon says parents must have control over pornography and other unwanted e-mails making their way into the homes of Missourians. Nixon says the “no spam” list would function as the “no call” list does – with solicitors required to obtain a list of people who do not want to be bothered.
