Verizon responds:

"Dear Friend,
Verizon Wireless responded to our campaign with utter contempt. It's time to turn up the heat!
Before we launched our campaign, CREDO Action reached out to Verizon Wireless to confirm its sponsorship of the pro-coal "Friends of America" rally. Becky Bond, our Political Director, then sent a cordial follow-up to give Verizon Wireless a heads-up that our campaign had launched. Verizon replied as follows:

"This is how our response is going over with the activists. Becky once lived in a tree for a while. At least now I know where the emails are coming from."
- James Gerace, VP of Corporate Communications at Verizon Wireless

If you don't think that Verizon Wireless should support global warming deniers and practitioners of mountaintop removal mining, then Verizon Wireless thinks it's okay to dismiss your concerns because you must have "lived in a tree for a while."

2. T-Mobile is great for cell service (at least where I live)
I have Verizon for land/DSL - and this pisses me off.

3. Another reason to be glad I dumped Verizon like the steaming load they are....
Not that I needed one, but validation is always welcome.
