Dump Verizon and AT&T

(Yes, this is a shamless ad, but please read on.)
Congress voted today to give immunity to the telecom companies that cooperated with the administration on the secret and illegal FISA wiretaps. One company stood apart and refused -
CREDO Mobile:

  • When the ACLU sued the National Security Agency over warrantless wiretapping, CREDO joined with an amicus brief — the only phone company to do so.
  • AT&T's Political Action Committee contributed the maximum amount allowable by law to the Bush/Cheney campaign — twice. CREDO has given $60 million to progressive nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, Earthjustice and Iraq Vets Against the War.
  • Verizon tried to block NARAL Pro-Choice America's text messages, calling them "unsavory." CREDO supports text messaging for progressive causes through our Mobile Action program.
  • AT&T has censored criticism of Bush during a concert webcast. CREDO fights for net neutrality as a member of the Save the Internet Coalition.
If you like what CREDO Mobile is doing, dump the underwriters of the vicious Right and join CREDO. Your telecom money will be doing good work, for once.

Make the switch now, and they'll buy out your existing contract and give you a nice phone.
