Five
years ago, as I marched to protest a U.S. attack on Iraq, I did not
imagine that our troops would still be there today, with the death toll
rising, a country destroyed and our treasury leaking billions per month.
But now, after another anniversary of this disaster, I'm as determined
as ever to do what I can to stop it. And by switching mobile providers, you can help stop it too.
I'm Michael Kieschnick, cofounder of CREDO Mobile, the only mobile
phone company in America that has worked actively to end the Iraq war
since its start. We've donated over $2 million to nonprofits supporting
peace. We've marched in protests, organized meetings with elected
officials and raised money for antiwar groups. And we'll continue to do
those things.
Where do those other phone companies stand on Iraq? AT&T® and
Verizon® give millions to pro-war politicians who support the war. The
two companies combined make hundreds of millions of dollars a year in
defense contracts. Some may describe these phone companies as pro-war.
And their number one customer might just be the White House.
Take a look and see how we stack up.

Where does your phone company stand on...

CREDO Mobile

AT&T

Verizon
|
| the war in Iraq: |
We've opposed the war from the start and donated over $2 million to
nonprofits supporting peace, such as: Iraq Veterans Against the War,
Veterans for Peace, CodePink and the Ruckus Society. |
Contributes
more money to political campaigns than almost any other company -
mostly to pro-war politicians who supported the war. |
More than half a billion dollars in defense-related revenue in 2007. |
| spying on Americans: |
We donate to the ACLU to stop warrantless wiretapping. |
Widely reported to have aided the Bush administration's warrantless spying on American citizens. |
| your freedom of speech: |
We support First Amendment defenders like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ACLU and Democracy Now. |
Fighting for the right to block internet content it doesn't approve of. |
Blocked text messages from NARAL Pro-Choice America (until forced to allow them). |
The choice is clear. If you have a cellphone from AT&T or Verizon,
you can keep sending them your money and supporting them - and Bush. Or
you can join CREDO Mobile.
