Sure enough, I have not received any of those catalogs since it was marked "confirmed". Thank you cc.org! I'm in the process of inputting more! =) Actually, I was a little skeptical at first so I only put in a few. Sure enough, I have not received any of those catalogs since it was marked “confirmed”.

But if you give up on CC.org now, which really is making inroads, we're all back in catalog hell where we have to beg each individual sender, over and over, to remove us from their lists. Surely, since you've resorted to calling each merchant individually, you can tell they know what CC.org is, and they're afraid. Are they afraid enough? No, not yet, but it's coming. In the past month I've explained explicity to Harry & David and to Orvis that I've stopped doing business with them because they've ignored my requests through CC.org. Please don't give up yet...together we'll prevail. Eloise, Kim: I understand your frustration; I’m there too.

I give up. I've started calling these companies MYSELF & getting off their listings! You don't have enough clout. I now have 120 catalogs that you have ‘delivered’ for the last 4 months. I give up.

I've got 102 confirmed! My goal was 100 for the 509 inputed since Jan08. But, still want a Do Not Mail Law that will add a bit of teeth. Not only for the reasons I've listed before but a new one: About ten days ago, I got a mailing requesting I send them a dollar to make more money "a pyramid scam" and promote mailing listings, plus to send the copies of info to many others "a chain scam". The letter indicated my mail info was supplied - you guessed it a Mail Supplier. Wrote to the SAG in the state letter was sent: -They will retain copies of my info for future ref. -They forwarded my info to the Post Master General. -Last but not least, they politely gave me info about DMA! As if they have my public trust for participating in what I've said before DMA helped caused a great part of this mess. They are not the only mail suppliers so how are they the solution to others that sale, share or rent? CC.org, thank you for your continuiing efforts and have a great holiday. I'ts nice that you have afforded me a right to free speach - what America is about!!!!. Kim: CC.org is the only opt out that is not making money but they are striving to make a difference. I respect that and they evidently have a great respect for the consumer but have to work with merchants as well. My mailbox is a bit emptier than it was before, but, I'm abit more aggressive about reducing the junk mail such as the above mentioned and doing that on my own. Yippee! I’ve got 102 confirmed!

It is taking much longer than anticipated to get merchants to process the requests. While it may not seem like it in your mailbox, your efforts are making a difference. In the past two days we delivered over 2 million opt-out requests to various merchants we have been in discussions with. Thanks Kim:

In fact, I think I'm getting more catalogs. Chadwick's alone has sent me catalogs under 7 different customer numbers since I've opted out of the first one. What's the point?

Don't get going on the Library of Congress. I was about 3 yrs old when I went there and I thought they used alot of "Pledge" on them there desks. My mom used alot of that. CC.org: You are doing good! But the "UNCONFIRMED" are continuing to layer dusts that I can't get rid of. This week I got few of the catalogs from the "We occasionally exchange" variety and they can't tell me who the mail supplier is. What's a consumer to do? Wow!
