Last week House Republicans abruptly cancelled a vote on a 20-week abortion ban. Why? Because the bill was so extreme, female lawmakers from their own party objected to it. This radical legislation was brought to you by right-winger Trent Franks (R-AZ). And who helped Franks get re-elected? AT&T. The abortion ban contained only a very narrow rape exception. But that didn’t bother Rep. Franks, who testified in Congress that “[t]he incidence of pregnancy resulting from rape is very low.” How infuriating. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY), two presidential hopefuls, have expressed their support for the legislation and are eager to pass this ban. Which phone company contributed to all three of these men as they campaign to control women’s bodies? AT&T. Don’t give your money to a phone company that gives its money to misogynists. You have an alternative: CREDO Mobile. CREDO funds the pro-choice movement, with donations to groups like Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, UltraViolet and Medical Students for Choice. In fact we’re the largest corporate donor to Planned Parenthood—over $3 million to date. And we mobilize our 3.5 million CREDO Action members to counter attacks on women’s rights at the local, state and federal level. Make the switch to CREDO Mobile today and get 30% off your data plan for two years plus $50 off any phone.* In fact, just last week CREDO joined forces with NARAL Pro-Choice America and UltraViolet to deliver 150,000 petition signatures to Congress opposing this extreme abortion ban and helped convince lawmakers that the bill went too far. “CREDO is a take-no-prisoners movement of men and women who are consistently our best allies in the fight to defeat sexism and expand women’s rights.” – UltraViolet This is just the beginning of the battles we’ll have to fight with this Republican Congress. Planned Parenthood is under attack again. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) has already introduced new legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, a move he tried back in 2007. AT&T, which itself defunded Planned Parenthood back in 1990, contributed to both Sen. Vitter’s election campaigns and even held a fundraiser “honoring” Vitter in 2010. Switch to the phone company that stands with Planned Parenthood: CREDO Mobile. Join today and get 30% off your data plan for two years plus $50 off any phone.* As a CREDO Mobile customer, you’ll fund Planned Parenthood and other great nonprofit groups fighting for women’s rights, the environment, marriage equality, peace and social justice. In the past 30 years these groups have received over $78 million in CREDO donations. “As Planned Parenthood's most generous corporate donor, CREDO plays an important role in our ability to safeguard women's health. Its steadfast commitment to our mission is deeply appreciated.” – Planned Parenthood We make it easy to switch. Stuck in a contract? No problem. We give you up to $350 credit per line, for up to five lines, to cover any cancellation fees charged by your current carrier. You also get up to $300 credit for trading in your current phone. That’s up to $650 to switch to CREDO Mobile!* If there’s ever been a time to stand up for reproductive freedom—and turn away from a phone company bankrolling politicians engaged in a war on women—this is it. We’re CREDO Mobile. Won’t you join us? |
