Tired of paying to leave your cell phone company for another?
That's not how competition is supposed to work.
Vent your frustration and make a difference!
This week, the FCC meets to discuss those hefty early termination fees--as high at $250. They need to hear from customers, not just companies.
The stakes are high. The FCC could rein in these fees, but the companies want a sweetheart deal in return. In exchange for fee reductions, the industry wants to take away your right to take cell phone companies to court.
We got this far because frustrated cell customers have already gone to court, and they might win. By taking away your rights in the future, we may end up with a worse deal in the long run.
Tell the FCC to rein in these excessive early termination penalties without taking away your rights.
Isn’t it bad enough we have to buy a new phone when changing wireless companies? Why do we have to pay a penalty when we leave, even if the service was bad?
Tell the FCC cell phone companies shouldn’t get special legal treatment just for giving consumers a fair shake!
Finally, please forward this email to those you know with cell phones, so they can comment to the FCC along with you!

Stop Big Media E-Action Alert: Tell the FCC you care about local media
How does this tie into labor? Check out my post on FreePress Action Network to see my point of view -> "Now Big Media can hurt workers better" (12/19/08) :

| Dear Joseph,
Your local television stations want to keep you in the dark. The FCC has voted to make TV stations more accountable to their viewers by disclosing basic information about the ways they serve the public. Seems simple, right? But there are many things that Big Media don’t want us to know. And their powerful lobbyists and lawyers in Washington are now suing the FCC to stop the new disclosure rules from going into effect. Defend your right to know. Tell the commissioners that local media need to be more accountable to us. Tell the FCC: Stand Up for the Public In exchange for a promise to serve the public, Big Media giants get a free license to use our public airwaves and make billions. The new rules will help you monitor the media and make your voice heard. They require stations to form community advisory boards and have someone in the studio at all times for public safety alerts. In addition, stations would have to post information on station ownership, educational and community programming, and public complaints on their Web sites. This information helps communities pressure stations to improve their programming -- and even challenge their licenses at the FCC if they’re not meeting local needs. Big Media’s lawyers and lobbyists are fighting rules like these. They are telling the FCC that no one cares about how their stations do business. Prove the Lobbyists Wrong: Tell the FCC You Care about Local Media Don’t let Big Media pull the wool over our eyes. Tell the FCC not to back down. Take action and then forward this e-mail to your friends. Onward, Josh Stearns
