If there's one thing that politicians on Capitol Hill agree on it's that annoying robocalls must be stopped.

But on this issue both parties were almost unanimously united with a vote of 417-3 in favor of the bill. The bill was named after the lawmakers that helped lead it in the House and Senate, Rep.
