This bill would effectively allow private businesses to dial cell phones automatically and many believe it constitutes a massive reversal in protections for consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\" mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Schumer says the unwanted calls could also use up consumers\u2019 cell phone minutes and thus effectively drive up the cost of bills for users.  The Senator has asked the House of Representatives to block the bill and says that even if they do not, he will launch an aggressive effort in the Senate to see it blocked.  Schumer has also called on New Yorkers to contact their Congressmen and urge them to block the bill as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\" mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cFor twenty years, consumers have been protected from receiving auto-generated messages from telemarketers on their cell phones,\u201d the Senator comments, \u201cbut this House bill would toss out those protections, leaving consumers to deal with annoying and unwanted calls all day long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\" mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Unsurprisingly, the likes of the American Bankers Association are strongly supporting the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"
