Its time for action my friends

I am saying here that those of us under contract should go one step further and take a one month hiatus on paying our phone bills. If we can organize hundreds of thousands of customers to go late for one month it will have a direct cash flow impact on these companies and they WILL take notice. I agree that we should flood their phone lines and switch if we can. But going one step further and hitting them where it hurts could put a stop to this fascist streak. The great thing about our system is that those who live by profits can also die by them.
If enough people join this fight you will see the companies snap back so fast you'll get whiplash. They caved to the government that (de)regulates them as long as this was secret. But WE are where they get their money so that they can take advantage of those capital gains, dividend and estate tax cuts which, because of our broken democracy, we are unable to stop. We can do it!!!
