NATIONAL HANG-UP WEEK BEGINS SUNDAY (JAN. 21)

LOUISVILLE, Ken. (Wireless Flash) -- Telemarketing companies may find their numbers are up next week if a man in Louisville, Kentucky, has his way. Tom Mabe is president of a group called The People's Effort To Stop Telemarketing -- P.E.S.T. for short -- and he's declared January 21-27 as "National Hang-Up Week." Mabe wants all Americans to immediately hang up on any telemarketers who call their home next week and he hopes the campaign will inspire new laws to protect consumers against annoying phone calls.
