The door-to-door solicitor season is upon us! You know these
people... The magazine subscription girl who wants to go to Spain.
The lady who just wants you to read her religious pamphlet. The
"all windows washed for $25" guy. It goes on.
Homeowners often feel that they have little control regarding
door-to-door solicitation. However, the solution to this perennial
problem is remarkably simple. By clearly marking a home with a "No
Soliciting" sign, solicitors are denied access to that property.
In the spirit of the the National Do Not Call Registry, I
have started a
National No Knock List to inform homeowners of their
rights regarding unwelcome home solicitation.
Along with a free door decal, you will be sent information
about registering your home and cell phone numbers with the
National Do Not Call Registry and a simple form that can
dramatically decrease the influx of junk mail received at home.
The best thing is that it's all free and it's all your
choice. It is my hope to give all Colorado homeowners a voice and a
choice regarding home solicitation.
All area residents can request a free 3x4" gold foil,
weatherproof decal by visiting
www.solicitorfree.com or by sending two .39 postage stamps to: Created for You
Productions, 3400 S. Eudora St., Denver, CO, 80222.
