How robocalls may be the thing to unite Congress
CQ on Congress, Ep. 178
Those pesky robocalls may be the one thing this deeply divided Congress can agree on. Earlier this week, the House passed a measure led by New Jersey Democrat Frank Pallone Jr. and South Dakota Republican John Thune that aims to combat the billions of automated phone calls that flood this country’s phone lines each month. The bill appears headed for passage in the Senate. CQ Roll Call reporter Katherine Tully-McManus joins the podcast this week, along with lawyer Kevin Rupy, who represents phone companies.
Show notes:
- Robocall compromise bill set up for quick House passage
- House clears bill to relieve onslaught of robocalls plaguing Americans
- Senate backs bill to stem flood of robocalls plaguing cell phones
