http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/838821946The Bush Administration has illegally spied on the phone calls of millions of Americans, and AT&T and Verizon have been helping by voluntarily giving customers' records to the National Security Agency (NSA).
The shareholders of these public companies are asking for the truth. How have AT&T and Verizon handled customers' personal information, and how will they address this domestic spying scandal? AT&T and Verizon shareholders - and the American people - deserve to know!
According to media reports, the reason for collecting this private information is to "create a database of every call ever made within the nation's borders." This program affects all U.S. citizens, not just those suspected of terrorist or criminal activity. This is illegal and un-American!
Tell AT&T and Verizon to come clean to shareholders on the legal and ethical duty to protect the privacy of their customers.
