Petition | AT&T and Verizon: Don't Share Our Personal Information

The 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.

The Petition Site homepage where you might find other petitions of interest. Anyone can start a petition from organizations such as the ACLU to anyone with an email account so some are great, some are ok, and others are ??? (IMO).

I went with WORKING ASSETS!!! Check it out: http://www.workingassets.com/index.cfm

Unfortunately, AT&T is my DSL provider (they bought SBC who bought Pac Bell - I would NEVER have gone AT&T).

No choice until we move (soon). Then I'll dump the bastards...
