Finalists post come back I know it'll be back but let's just let's start over with a fresh light you know I don't wanna I don't wanna and have to be worried about break -- eight. Mighty.

If you'd like those who show on the unit go to our bow web address which is how we cart dot com how we cart dot com click on the live audio streaming. Also what how we cart dot com we have a whole question as you probably know what Ben Bernanke and his term as -- chairman of the Federal Reserve. Is going to end. On launched its next Sunday January 31. And he's got to be reappointed by the Senate they've been holding off the ball they think they got the votes now but they're not really that sure there's a combination of people from Bernie Sanders on the far left to Jim Bunning on the on the right the senator from Kentucky former baseball player. There they are very angry about a -- John McCain announced today he's gonna vote against them so Shandi what does today's poll question and one of the results thus far. Would you vote to give Ben Bernanke another term no I would not. Or 60% say no currently okay I don't feel is going to be one of those fairly close polls -- to predict no. -- to predict is good it's good to go up is there's as the afternoon goes on people think more about it. Okay 18774694322. There was there is short the story in the paper over the weekend and as soon as I saw eyesight got to have this guy on the year. To say I. I heard a lot of people talking about this you know and it's I didn't get as many as other people dead but the you know what I'm talking about it -- you you when I get to this robo calls last week they hold only totally out of control. I and I know that the you dare not allowed. Telemarketers aren't allowed to call you if you put your name -- do not call list but there are couple of exceptions one of which is for politicians. And -- joining us now on the line as our representative Steve cool and he has easy easy stay wrap. And he's file they respect and about five are you think about filing your -- representative garlic.

I am working now we it's the kind of issue that because that involve a lot of constitutional issues around free speech and so on I need to make sure this is very carefully crafted so I'm. Researching what -- existence few other states and not putting it together and I hope they have something up while in the very near future.

You know we all totally believe in freedom of speech but how about the freedom not to be bugged by while these BM calls I mean I don't we boy got 89 calls in the last couple of days.

Absolutely it was incredibly intrusive. Really an invasion of privacy and you know I think it backfired on people and have it -- I don't -- go anywhere else cause everyone's guilty of that. Off sides in the election used robocalls and they used to more in this election I think we've. In a way this special election with a preview of what's to come because. These robocalls have become so inexpensive they're the cost of pennies. And they've beaten some very sophisticated so you can target. Particular types of voters now. I would guarantee you that the people about the most robo calls of people who are. Quote I'm enrolled unaffiliated with either of the major parties. Because they were those swing keep voter as we saw on the results. That turned the selection around and so. They were the target particularly if you had a good voting history and all of that information is public information. Databases are so sophisticated so. You know you can -- you know six or seven -- a call and have a tailored message coach who have voter who fits the profile that you're trying to reach. And if you want things to do don't want to but because there's so cheap and people think -- you know as an advertising repetition of that -- what the seats. The gonna do it over and over and over I'm like you I heard from. A lot of constituents who would get 678 -- today. And it's it's really backed --

Right so it was so pleasant just yesterday to watch those football games granted they were better football games more competitive in the once a week before but it was -- not to have to like Koran when they go to what timeout and -- political spots. But -- Then what -- the worst last week is your cringing from the political spots on TV wade trying to watching you and your phone is ringing off the -- right are getting a lot of yeah I -- it just. Then edit your right it was counterproductive after awhile.

Oh I spoke to people who said you know I'm gonna vote against the next person that put the robo calls my house that's set out some people I think we're deciding. How they were gonna vote in the election by maybe who had the lead with. Number robocalls or who fathered the police.

What's -- what's wrong with mailers like that you don't mailer you know it's like you're getting a catalog if you if you don't want it to you just toss it aside right that's right it's not a hassle you know.

Yet ignore these things and even if you're not home to pick it up -- sent to me look I get home from work. There's can call on my machine and I have to go through them to make sure one of them is an important step in our and to know. You can't ignore it -- your home -- insert or it's just gonna get left of the massive.

Most argued there representative Steve -- key is he he's readying a legislation to what's I guess it would be like an opt out the right to.

Absolutely it you know we're all familiar with the do not call list we've had it for about a decade in this. We also signed up for it so. I'm just proposing -- tracked them going down. If they use sign -- that I don't wanna get political call either. Very it would be very easy people familiar with the mechanism. I've seen some things that have been disgust and other states where. You know you're allowed to get to call dedication. I think you should be allowed not to.

Did you all don't want -- not a Democrat and a video site well it's two calls have been and we started a new day over in China yeah right right.

Right there's another state that has proposal I don't know if they put in the law yet but. -- Cuba and has the come on the phone first and ask your permission and if -- allow them to play the robo call.

Go look I don't know what that is very -- anything that involves -- ringing phone that's that's what you've got to get don't get away for -- It's that the video that's that's a good -- there I'm glad to doing it I couldn't die you probably when they first passed the do not call congress. And I thought to myself -- how typical for politicians to exempt themselves but I thought it was you know I thought okay well it's not that big deal 'cause these that the campaigns don't come that often but I mean this and this thing was totally over this this was over the top.

There was and as I've been researching -- I find that senator Russ Feingold process Wisconsin has filed a bill at the federal level because. You know the state of where the do not call list began but then there eventually it was a federal ones so -- he can get any traction with that and solve the problem for the whole country that would be.

Polling very well lately representative -- and -- I think he may wanna grandfathered in firms to allow himself to continue these the next the next elections. Okay well listen -- let us let us know how this have you talked to anybody in leadership about this -- you just sort of freelance.

You know I actually have got another our colleague of mine who's been working my attitude we're gonna work out together representative that -- from planets that take. Western mass I think two make an effort like this so it's a pretty new idea or just really -- The day after the election. And of course there was a lot worse in December when the primary. Helping people reading getting more calls when no more candidates. In the field that's -- it first began to really hear complaints and.

what I wrote we were told me you know gee I didn't know that this I didn't know that Doc Rivers wasn't trusted and -- RS in kind of shortened kinda old but he's column BP well.

Maybe if he covered a couple of tickets to a game in notes. Think about it.

So what's a what a couple people wanna talk -- but that's why they give them time to talk take a couple -- short 1877469432218774694322. Michael your next with how we card representative Stephen -- go ahead Michael.

About what -- this week about that in a police what are facts. Segment thanks for the caller can I'm glad I'm glad you have one less public safety issue now mark your next with how we card representative Steve cool would go ahead mark.

I don't always good a job like the table there's so I'd call my probably and then they almost answered my fault. And sort of fall because they're recognized by Nomar. And I -- they'd be deep auto woes robocalls. Thorny told me -- L he would vote Democrat. And I prayer mother globally lost they. Quote. That baby is a prominent pols use given my --

Yeah he's clearly bellies available to another mobile for example reported.

Thanks for the call mark the issue you obviously you saw this before you got involved and represented of course but this this is a big. Plot problem I get it.

Absolutely I I can't I can't believe the response just enough for five days since. That's -- publicly talking about working on it you know what. I mean -- the emails that are coming into -- from around the state phone calls from strangers. -- constituents are really the ones are brought it to my attention I personally didn't got a lot of robocalls because. I'm a Democrat as I said I think if Europe and enrolled unaffiliated voter. You've got buried in the bank and so people started matching it to me and my officer on the street and that's something will be done about this because it's turning people off the pulpit to.

Dan your next with how we card representative Steve -- look who's it's gonna file legislation to allow people to opt out of getting political robocalls go ahead --

Right big -- does singularity didn't like Martha Coakley -- Jason regarding my unlisted phone number. They're burning up my minutes like myself all. -- Vienna on the do not Carlos -- the.

Yeah but it doesn't include politicians that you know thank you -- I doubt.

Thanks for the call flagged your next with how we -- presume Steve -- let go ahead up frank. -- god terrier next with Howie Carr and represent Steve -- go ahead Perry.

Yes hi I'm -- to be robocalls and annoying I feel bad whenever a Republican but I'm -- the crowd. Or that they -- election as the Democrats that want to shut them up. If this type of legislation is. Going to do.

All I go to Terry don't you think this is bipartisan I didn't Martha -- made a million I mean Scott Brown did did some horrible calling to what I you know I think Seattle at. He he tended to have more people. Actually making human human beings make him a phone calls.

Slower than what the parties have to do is the the first phone call they have to and let people.

what what a party -- term bitten very do you want us to remind you to go before election to go broke. And that way it's like having the government do it and they try to -- I'll be conservative talk show people who.

I don't know but. If you don't -- don't you think these these do not call list has worked pretty well on a federal level.

I'm well I don't really get a lot of calls it.

are you one large are you on the list. Probably I probably -- yeah I mean it. This would just this just adds you -- different class of a passage to the to the group that that aren't allowed to call you anymore.

Yet it would be the individual person's choice whether they want to get these calls and not to -- not nothing controlled by the government or.

By the port authority I mean if you like hearing from Doc Rivers and and Vicki Kennedy I mean you couldn't goal you know don't sign up for the last.

Well I think the party -- solve the problems with their big they can do I think with the phone computer banks and things like that so. They just give -- a reminder to the person to go broke the day before the election.

Okay thanks thanks for the call Terry. I think Terry's a minority in a minority on this when -- represented cool.

The other thing the other thing I'd mention it isn't just the parties and their candidate's it's the although independent third party organizations. That make calls about half of the candidates like the Doc Rivers call -- whatever. Well he's got a great example but you know EMILY's List of the NRA or whomever you know.

I -- and so there were also were reports of dirty tricks like calls to push all kind of right now. What site you're on the -- but just India -- pain one.

I -- and had a saying you know if you wanna get those calls find you don't have to do anything but if you don't like come. Sign up and you'll -- to --
