Promoting democracy in Utah one pint at a time.
Dear Friend,
Five years ago, as I marched to protest a U.S. attack on Iraq, I did not imagine that our troops would still be there today, with the death toll rising, a country destroyed and our treasury leaking billions per month.
But now, on the anniversary of this disaster, I’m as determined as ever to do what I can to stop it. And by switching mobile providers, you can help stop it too.
I’m Michael Kieschnick, cofounder of CREDO Mobile, the only mobile phone company in America that has worked actively to end the Iraq war since its start. We’ve donated over $2 million to nonprofits supporting peace. We’ve marched in protests, organized meetings with elected officials and raised money for antiwar groups. And we’ll continue to do those things. Where do those other phone companies stand on Iraq? AT&T® and Verizon® give millions to Republican politicians who support the war. The two companies combined make hundreds of millions of dollars a year in defense contracts. Some may describe these phone companies as pro-war. And their number one customer might just be the White House.
Take a look and see how we stack up.
Where does your phone company stand on… CREDO Mobile AT&T Verizon the war in Iraq: We’ve opposed the war from the start and donated over $2 million to nonprofits supporting peace, such as: Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, CodePink and the Ruckus Society. Contributes more money to political campaigns than almost any other company - mostly to Republicans who supported the war. Made more than half a billion dollars in defense-related revenue in 2006. spying on Americans: We donate to the ACLU to stop warrantless wiretapping. Widely reported to have aided the Bush administration’s warrantless spying on American citizens. your freedom of speech: We support First Amendment defenders like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ACLU and Democracy Now. Fighting for the right to block internet content it doesn’t approve of. Blocked text messages from NARAL Pro-Choice America (until forced to allow them).
The choice is clear. If you have a cellphone from AT&T or Verizon, you can keep sending them your money and supporting them - and Bush. Or you can join CREDO Mobile.
CREDO Mobile is brought to you by your friends at Working Assets. We’re the only phone company as committed as you are to ending the Iraq war. That’s why, on March 19, I along with many other CREDO members and tens of thousands of others will mark its fifth anniversary by attending vigils with MoveOn.org around the country to bring our troops home.
Please think about joining us - and joining CREDO Mobile, a phone company you can be proud of. Click here to learn more or call 877.76.CREDO (877.762.7336) to talk to someone right now about making the switch. Mention code 300193 so they’ll know I sent you.
Sincerely, Michael Kieschnick Cofounder and President CREDO Mobile and Working Assets

I was in the process of switching to Credo Mobile. My experience with customer service over the last two days has made me change my mind - I am back with my original carrier.
Everyone is very polite, but I get the impression they have little training, and little software support. They do not have an integrated way to look at my account. I called to tell them to cancel, and after that, they transferred my number over to their system. i had to have it transferred back.
This was after I ordered service, and they didn’t even ask me what my old number was. And after they called back to say “Who was your service provider again?”
Amateur outfit. I am all for good causes. But it gives good causes a bad name if they use them to get customers they are unable to serve.

That’s interesting, coreperformance. I thought CREDO had been around a while, just with a different name. A few months ago I was considering buying a phone through Democracy For America Wireless, which I believe is just CREDO with some of the profit going to DFA. It almost seems worth the hassle (to me, anyway) just to know that my phone provider won’t cave to government phone-tap requests.
