RE: Boycott Clearwire

Oh boy.  Causing strife for employees of a company whose founder you don't
like is a GREAT way to get back at a president you don't care for.  Yep, I
see the logic there.  Thanks for sharing.

Subject: Boycott Clearwire
 
We are receiving offers from Clearwire wireless broadband, to subscribe to
their Internet service.  Now is an opportunity to strike back at Bush and
his crooked bunch of corporate tycoons. 
Craig McCaw lives in a 12,200-square-foot house once owned by musician Kenny
G in Hunts Point, on the shore of Lake Washington, where neighbors include
the Gateses. The McCaws hosted President George W. Bush for a re-election
fund-raiser. Over the years, McCaw has owned a yacht called Cellular One, a
Gulfstream IV jet, a Falcon 50 jet and a Beaver seaplane....  ---BLOOMBERG

Since 2003, three of the president's four fund-raising trips to Washington
have taken him to Medina, where he has collected $4.5 million for the
Republicans. A Craig McCaw-hosted event raised $1.7 million of that. The
grateful president in turn last year appointed Craig McCaw's second wife,
Susan, a venture capitalist, as U.S. ambassador to Austria. ---SEATTLE

Here is what it looked like in 2004 when Bush came to Hunt's Point. Many of
you stood with me, including OKelly, Gary, Jack and Jack, and many others.

Your boycott-and-shunning campaign should include all dealings with
Clearwire's corporate office, 5808 Lake Washington Blvd NE Suite #300,
Kirkland, WA 98033 including all Clearwire employees, and sales channels.

Clearwire is an evil company.  McCaw supports the Republican Party in order
to gain business advantage, regulatory favors, provisions and earmarks in
the Congress--- and ultimately to capture millions of users defecting from
the previous bunch of evil criminals, Qwest, Verizon and Comcast, in search
of an honest Internet provider. 

DON'T BE FOOLED -- warn all your friends, this is not a good company to
switch your Internet service to.   As long as McCaw is involved, regard this
as a completely as equivalent to Bush and Cheney, on their ethics and style
of doing business.  Consider this like ENRON, for example.   

An internet provider has many, many ethical choices involving your privacy,
your quality of service, and your freedom and liberty.  Would you trust Bush
to provide net neutrality?   Would you trust Bush and Cheney not to delay
your email, or block progressive bloggers, or organizing tools like Riseup,
during elections or invasions?   Well then, you shouldn't trust Clearwire.  

Let's show them the power of progressives and liberals in the marketplace.
