Handcuffs for Karl Rove. A handset for you.
When you pay your mobile phone bill each month, you probably don't
give a lot of thought to where your money goes. But given what's going
on in Washington these days, maybe you should.
Congress has finally started the process of holding Karl Rove — a.k.a.
"Bush's Brain" — accountable for his blatant (and possibly illegal)
politicization of the Justice Department. All we (and our friends at
Brave New Films) can say to that is, it's about time. (1)
But you probably weren't aware that your mobile phone company may be
among those that helped fund Rove's rise to power, or advance his
dream of a "permanent Republican majority." Are you comfortable
supporting that kind of company?
Consider the facts on record:
AT&T's® Political Action Committee contributed the maximum amount
allowable by law to the Bush/Cheney campaign — twice. (2) In 2000,
these funds helped pay Karl Rove's expenses.(3)
So far in this 2008 election cycle, contributions from the joint
Political Action Committee of Verizon Wireless® and Verizon
Communications Inc.® lean decidedly Republican(4), including five-
figure donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee
and National Republican Senatorial Committee.
AT&T's current CEO, Randall Stephenson, has donated tens of thousands
to conservative politicians and PACs. (5) AT&T's former CEO, Ed
Whitacre, was a Bush-Cheney "Ranger" in 2004, raising more than
$200,000 to give us four more years of Bush. (6)
Here at CREDO, we have a profoundly different set of values than Karl
Rove and the companies that have shown support for his dream of a
permanent conservative majority in Congress:
We've been calling for Karl Rove to be fired and prosecuted ever since
2005, when his role in 'outing' covert agent Valerie Plame came to
light.
Instead of right-wing politicians, CREDO has given $60 million to
progressive nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, Earthjustice, the ACLU
and Iraq Vets Against the War.
Rather than suppress voter turnout — Karl Rove's signature trademark
for stealing elections(7) — CREDO's voter registration programs have
helped 1.1 million people register to vote since July 2007.
If you want to see progressive change for America, it's probably time
to stop supporting a company that supported Karl Rove, and make the
switch to CREDO Mobile. With CREDO you'll get the same quality
coverage, phones and accessories that you enjoy from any major
provider — plus fantastic customer service from our team of dedicated
and knowledgeable representatives. And under this special "Hang Up on
Rove" online offer, we'll even throw in a free Motorola H375 Bluetooth
headset.
Best of all, if you switch now, we'll pay your early termination fee
from those other guys (up to $200). Click here to visit
credomobile.com and learn more, or call 866.513.8673 to talk to
someone right now about making the switch. Be sure to mention code
300258 so they'll know I sent you. But please don't delay — this offer
ends September 15, 2008.
Thank you, as always, for your support.
Sincerely,
Michael Kieschnick
Co-founder and President
CREDO Mobile
* All with a two-year CREDO Mobile service agreement. Offer subject to

Did your mobile phone support Karl Rove...or does it fight to put him
behind bars, where he belongs?
You may not know that some mobile phone companies have supported Karl
Rove and his right-wing vision for America. Isn't it time you switched
to a mobile company that shares your values?
