Why I love my Long Distance provider....



workingassets.com


I use a company called 'Working Assets' as a Long Distance provider (they recently changed their name to 'Credo' for some reason).

From their website; " Working Assets was created in 1985 on a strong foundation of beliefs, a credo. Supporting peace, equality, human rights and the environment is the reason we exist. That is why each time one of our customers uses our mobile, credit card or long distance services, we donate a portion of their charges to these causes."

Part of your payments to them they give to organizations like Planned Parenthood, Center for Independent Media, Oxfam, Amnesty International, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, etc. Nice & liberal.

In today's mail I received a postcard from them:





The copy reads: "Did your phone help elect Bush/Cheney? AT&T's political action committee contributed the maximum amount allowable by law to the Bush/Cheney campaign — twice."

There's a bit more about switching to Credo Mobile, then it ends with:

"On the other hand, if you're happy with your mobile service just the way it is, accept this photograph — suitable for framing — as your gift from a real, ahem, Richard.

Perfect.
