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:

Six 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.

118380	September 06, 2010	Norma Powell		Kenmore, WA, US	Ever since I purchased a condo, I have been so totally flooded with junk mail that I have grown weary of just trying to go through it all; in fact, important mail has accidentally gotten thrown away because of being buried amongst all the junk. There must be SOME way to stop these people from piling all this garbage on us.
118379	September 06, 2010	Robert Cunningham		Fullerton, CA, US	I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I open up my already small mail box and the entire thing is full of junk, only 1 or 2 letters being important then having to dispose of about 20 different things of junk. I have also been charged late fees on bills before because the bills would get lost in the mounds of junk.
