Did Your Phone Help Elect Bush/Cheney?

cheney_picture.jpegWith approval ratings for the current administration at all time record lows, Credo Mobile came up with this near-irresistible e-mail subject line.

The body copy and call-to-action are no less compelling:

Sorry to say, but the political action committee at AT&T contributed the maximum amount allowable by law to the Bush/Cheney campaign — twice. So, go ahead, check out your mobile phone company. And then check out the mobile phone alternative you can trust. It's called CREDO Mobile, and it's mobile phone service that stands up for your values, brought to you by Working Assets.

On the other hand, if you're happy with your mobile service just the way it is, accept this photograph as your gift from a real, ahem, Richard.

To get your phone in line with your values, click here.

Just a hunch, but this is going to get Credo onto consumers' radar - fast. Particularly the ones whose major gripe with the telco until now has been its indefensible anti Net neutrality stance.

We can say with most certainly that AT&T donating money to Bush/Chaney had less to do with political ideals and more to do with simply gaining access to the Presidency, support by certain industries for political organizations is nothing new.CREDO Mobile is the way that they are now willing to wave their political leanings and connections like a banner at a protest rally.

@Jesmi
And let's not forget the immunity from any wrongdoing in their wiretapping move - something Bush put a hard stop on and would not budge on. Illegal is illegal, right? Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter in this case. I'm also waiting for Credo to support phones I want, in the meantime I still don't send a penny to ATT - and I wonder how many iPhone users know where there money is ending up:
