Issue Idea - Telemarketers
Issue idea. Feel free to offer suggestions, especially on spelling/grammar and a new name (but anything is useful).
Name: Telemarketers Get on @@NAME@@'s Nerves
Description: A recent rise in the number of complaints about telemarketers has lead to the formation of the Citizens Against Phone Salesmen. The group has begun calling for a ban on telemarketing.
Validity: Nation must have at least a decent level of economy/economic freedom.
Options:
[choice]"These people are a nuisance!" yells CAPS founder @@RANDOMNAME@@ from behind a podium at a recent rally. "They need to be banned from calling us to peddle their wares. Besides, who ever buys things from a telemarketer?"
[effect]telemarketers have been outlawed
[stats]It's a secret
[choice]"Being a telemarketer is a perfectly acceptable job choice," says the head of a large telemarketers association, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "What these protestors need to realize is that these people need work and companies need the business they provide. To put regulations on them is unthinkable."
[effect]citizens are regularly woken up in the middle of the night by telemarketers
[stats]Shh!
[choice]"Let's face facts, they can be annoying," says your Minister of Commerce, @@RANDOMNAME@@, "but that isn't a reason to ban them all together. Let's just put some restrictions on them. Like who they can call, and when they can call them."
[effect]new regulations on telemarketing are passed monthly

A cardboard box? It'll stop providing much elevation real soon. :D
stats: economy decreases slightly, people become more relaxed/friendly

Only one "c" in perfectly. Telemarketers, being companies, wouldn't have a union; "association" would be better.
stats: economy improves slightly, people are much angrier

Let's, not Lets. Minister of Commerce should be capitalized.
stats: People slightly more relaxed, taxes up (to pay for enforcing such complicated regulations), rights slightly down.
How about "Telemarketers Get on @NAME@'s Nerves"?
