Are you on a
"Do Not Call" List?
Are you getting calls from AFTRA and SAG members that you have never met telling you how to vote?

How do others feel about suing the caller perpetrators?

If you file a law suit you can then use means not normally available to you to get addresses at which you can serve subpoenas. The US PO will respond to legal process for home addresses, so if you have a POB for perp that is one way to go.
Agents should also have home address for perps.

The obvious way to get a home address is thru the unions.
Naturally the unions do not normally give out home addresses.
But they must respond to legal process.

What you need is an
"Information Subpoena".
for home address.

When filing suit simply tell the Court Clerk that you want to serve an "Information Subpoenas" for defendant's home address. They will tell you what to do.

If many of us want to sue, instead of each of us serving the unions with
"Information Subpoenas" for home address for service of perpetrator telemarketer we could each pick ONE perpetrator/defendant for whoever we want a home address.

I have not served subpoenas for several years. I last did it pro bono for friends. At that time in NYC you did not need to be licensed as a subpoena server unless you served more then three per year. With my wife, we could serve a total of six.

If in your jurisdiction you are not allowed to serve for a case in which you are a party, you can sue and have your spouse serve. You can then serve for your spouse. You could even visit the union together and serve for each other.

I may be willing to serve AFTRA and SAG in NYC pro bono for other plaintiffs.
Then if each victim/plaintiff will post one perpetrator/defendant's home address on the internet we each victim/plaintiff will have all the home address to serve the perpetrators/defendants.
If you are in NYC serve the NYC based perps.
If you are in LA, sue the LA based perps.
Alt.Acting Usenet Newsgroup would be an ideal place to post perps' home address as we can all access the info there.
As some ISP's are starting to block ALT newsgroups, I am recommending access via

Sean Penn called me yesterday, shall we start with him?

I'm no lawyer, but I believe if you have an on-going business relationship with someone (and union membership would be such) or if they're campaigning for certain causes (I'm way fuzzier here), the Do Not Call list does not apply.

You are correct on above.

However my OGM on my TAD says
"If we are out this machine will call our cellular phone with the message and we will call you back very quickly"

So caller knows that phone company [11¢ in my case w/tax] will call out to my cell phone [in my case 18¢ a minute]. Therefore, I feel leaving a message at that point is abuse. If my OGM said that call would be forwarded to a satelite phone at $5.00 a minute, would caller be so callous as to leave a campaign message?

Hey Y'all: How do I feel? Unions are already fighting with each other when they're supposed to be fighting producers. And now, we gotta sue them? That is a totally stupid idea. Like that's the last thing we need to show producers who are happy with all the drama.

I'm all for healthy and spirited debate, but let's try not to call each other's ideas stupid. We're all just doing our best to figure this stuff out.

Yeah, it's no easy feat to make sense of some of this. I try to explain it to my students and their eyes about fall out of their sockets....




(yes, that is my new favorite emoticon--so!!)

Hey Y'All: Wow! Talking about suing members of our own unions sure isn't figuring ANYTHING out. Talk about making a bad thing worse. Call the idea "very unintelligent" if we're supposed to be all proper. Lets figure out a way to get a good contract with producers. They wanna sue members of our own guild instead? No wonder you couldn't explain it to your students. Makes no sense.

Just reply with your favorite monologue.

Always good to have a listener for practice.

I have taken all the calls from my TAD and combined them with a photo of each perp. I made the thing into a slide show that I may sell as a WMM file on eBay
