HOW VERIZON AND AT&T HAVE SUPPORTED THE RIGHT WING — AND WHY YOU SHOULD SWITCH TO CREDO MOBILE

If you care about progressive social change, you ought to know that your phone company may be undermining everything you're doing to change the world. Does your company support politicians directly opposed to your values?

If you're with AT&T or Verizon, consider this:

• Both AT&T and Verizon Wireless supported politicians who are out to deregulate corporations and scuttle climate change regulation. In 2009-2010, AT&T gave $426,000 to House and Senate Tea Party Caucus members, while Verizon Wireless gave $48,000.
• Both AT&T and Verizon Wireless have also donated to House Tea Party Caucus leader Michele Bachmann, who wants her constituents "armed and dangerous" against climate change legislation and accused President Obama of "anti-American" views.
• Verizon Wireless fought net neutrality regulations (including suing the FCC in January to eliminate open internet rules), and recently sponsored two weeks of free access to The Daily, the new iPad-only "newspaper" from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. — the company that brought us Fox News.
• During the 2010 election cycle, AT&T was among the top 10 PAC donors to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, now infamous for his deceptive anti-union tactics. Now that AT&T wants to buy T-Mobile in its bid to become the largest telecom in the country, imagine the amount of money it will donate to right-wing politicians.

So maybe it's time to sign up with the one phone company that shares your progressive values.
