No, but is the closest that I know of. The DMA has successfully lobbied against a governmentally mandated list for mailing. One of the key parts of the argument is that a phone call is more invasive since the recipient cannot control when the phone call is received, but they can control when they get their mail (which is non-invasive).

The DMA (smartly) created the Pander list in an additional effort to ward off a governmentally mandated list.

Yup, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the United States Postal Service makes billions of dollars a year bringing us these non invasive gems.
