I called AT & T and you can and should, too.

CALL YOUR PROVIDER.

DELUGE THEM WITH CALLS.

DEMAND ANSWERS.

After getting the message that AT & T is experiencing a high volume of calls (ha! Wonder why??), I'm forwarded to a bot asking why I'm calling.

None of the choices matched my question, so I said my phone blew up.

After going through the bot's message several times, I finally got a live person.

Speaking in broken English, the woman asked what my home telephone number is and after identifying myself, I asked a point blank question.

Me: "Are my telephone and computer being spied on by NSA?"

There was a pause.........

Then she said, "You've reached Texas. I'll have to transfer you to your state's representative."

I waited.

Another bot message comes on stating the office is closed.

I WILL call again tomorrow.

Dayumit.

What kicks me off is that I can't get Qwest in my state.

The only company with the brass tacks to stand up to the feds, and I can't get it.

Buy stock in Qwest.

That's my tip for the day.

This has been going on since telecommunications were introduced. The only NEW thing here is that the majority of the public is catching on. You are WAY behind the 8-Ball.

I know, ethereal girl, or at least I SUSPECTED. I'm hoping most other GLP'ers do, too.

However, after bush stating that no Americans are being spied on...

And, after bush stating that only a small number of Americans are being spied on (remember, they were "indaverdently" collected along with the bad guys....

And, then, I think there was a public release of a number around 5,000 Americans were being spied on....

we now have 200 MILLION Americans being spied on!!

Chit, woman!

What should we wait for?

I'm not getting flippant with you, I want you to know that, but if not now, WHEN??

I just have local calling, no long distance.
Both phone & DSL are with Bell South.
Is Bell South also on this dam list?
Oh, and by the way, every dam time I call for customer DSL support, I get some want-to-be American over in India or Tiwan or the Philippines.
They name is always like Jeff, Mary, John or Sara.
Always ask for the last 4 digits of your soicial sercurity number, so once I said '1234' and then they said oh no, that is not correct. I said, well, don't you have the entire number show up on your screen, they said no, just the last 4 numbers.

What else can I do, A.C. 1326??

What else can WE do?????

This is OUR country, dayumit!

bush is in there for another 2 lousy years.

He can pluck this place, OUR HOME, up plenty in that amount of time.

WE ALL have to do this.

We have to badger, bitch, complain, and cancel our service with any provider who does not believe that domestic spying is WRONG.

I'd love to see a headline on the mainstream news that people are leaving those listed companies in droves.

Time to stick it to the man.

Polly, let this go, as these complaints are under litigation, from the senate and congress.

They will soon make some big statement, such as somehow an NSA agent fell into a switching room.

Annd under the influence of a mood medication and plugged in his jack, as he thought it was his pecker and could not tell the difference between and electrical socket and the company secretary.

Why would I not call AT & T and ask my question, listen to their answer, give the rep a piece of my mind to take back to the top brass, and then decide which company I'll transfer my account to?

If you and me, your next door neighbor and mine, their friends and relatives, and so on, do the same thing, don't you think it would have some impact?

LIES COVER LIES.

EVEN WORSE SOME MAKE EXCUSES FOR THESE ACTIONS.

BUT WE CAN FIGHT BACK CONSTITUTIONALLY.

SELL ATT AND VERIZON STOCK

CANCEL THEIR CONTRACTS.

DONT BUY EXXON PRODUCTS

BUY CITGO PRODUCTS

THE LIST IS ENDLESS BUT IS ALL POSITIVE AFFIRMATIE ACTION AGAINST THE NWO SLAVERY AND THEFT.
