Who is listening to your private phone calls?
Dear Reader,AT&T and Verizon customers are having their phone conversations handed over to Bush's National Security Agency for review at its discretion. This is a slap in the face to the Constitution and our basic right to privacy. We often give you the opportunity to support progressive causes, and this is no exception. By switching your wireless service to Credo Mobile you can use your consumer power to help stop illegal wiretapping by refusing to support the telecom companies who promote it.

Dear Reader,

Are you a customer of AT&T or Verizon?

Turns out AT&T and Verizon have been assisting the Bush administration’s illegal wiretapping program for quite some time. AT&T is alleged to run every byte of its internet traffic through a listening room where only NSA-approved personnel can go. And to make matters worse, the Bush administration has just about convinced Congress to grant the telecom companies retroactive immunity from suits from their angry customers.

What can you do? If you have a cellphone from Verizon or AT&T, you can keep on sending them your money and supporting them.

Or you can join CREDO Mobile. We’ve fought long and hard to expose the administration’s surveillance program and bring to justice those responsible.
CREDO Mobile is brought to you by your friends at Working Assets. It’s the same great wireless service we’ve offered for years, with a new name to reflect our commitment to the causes we believe in.

How different are we? Take a look below. What you see may upset you. For an immediate remedy, make the switch to CREDO Mobile.
