The field for the gop nomination to be the next president is getting more crowded. Two more candidates jumped in to the race today. But as Craig Boswell reports both Carly Fiorina and ben carson are running as outsiders hoping to change washington. Reporter republican Carly Fiorina announced her white house bid on good morning america. Fiorina said the other female candidate in the race, democrat Hillary Clinton is not trust worthy.

Musical acts took the stage before the former head of pediatric neuro surgery at Johns Hopkins introduced himself and promised to do things differently. Im not a politician.

Medical alert bracelets credit card adjustments and mortgage refinancing. Reporter now some are calling on phone companies to do more to stop the auto generated robo calls that ring up thousands of people at a time. We think the phone companies can actually block the calls before they get to your phone. Reporter tim leads a campaign to require carriers to offer customers free tools to block those calls. Phone Companies Need to step up and do more. Reporter theres a hangup. The Telecom Industry says while it shares a frustration about robo calling there are a number of legal issues that stand in the way. Among them, a 1936 fcc rule that phone companies requires carriers to connect every call. The way we read the call is clearly consumers have the right to block unwanted phone calls from coming to their house. Reporter the fcc is reviewing the rule and is supposed to issue a clarification. Meanwhile marvin and others say theres no time to waste. So far 270,000 people have signed the Consumer Union petition and 38 state attorney generals have also asked the federal Communications Commission to help clarify the rule. By the way the do not call list only blocks calls coming from other states and regulators cannot crackdown calls coming from within your state. Just a spectacular evening.
