I complained when Apple chose AT&T at a time when it was evident AT&T was breaking the law in providing data to Bush & Co, and getting retroactive immunity. If Apple is going to stay with AT&T on the iPhone, Steve Jobs needs to put the screws to AT&T on their Chamber membership.

Thank you, Daved. Oh, for the days when I teased Kirk Murphey for his long posts. Still, I'm saying, much better. Thank you. I guess I just expect more from headliners than diaries or comments. And, to quote your quote: MoveOn.org is casting its net even wider. There's a song I love. Draw The Circle Wide, Draw it Wider Still. It's the only way we are going to move forward more quickly. Thanks, again. More and better writing from you and not just a bunch of links. Thank you, Daved.

Also a handy email contact thing like we do with petitions so we can tell the companies we are boycotting them. Whole foods could be added too. Now if all the Lefty blogs could do the same thing well in this economy no company wants to risk a 1% decline in sales. The GOP and big business seem afraid of boycotts I smell fear they retreat we advance!
