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 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=nifea&sid=aNtp2bS8WFmo

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 WEEKLY http://www.seattleweekly.com/news/0633/playhouse.php

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. http://www.epjc.net/op/StopBush.htm

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.

Here is what it looked like in 2004 when Bush came to Hunts Point. http://www.epjc.net/op/StopBush.htm Craig McCaw has a *very unhealthy interest* in politics. That raises great concerns about how he will run his Internet services. An ISP makes many decisions with ethical implications for your privacy, your safety, your freedom and civil rights. Do you trust the Republican vision of net neutrality, or their respect for our privacy of our calls and connections after they repudiated FISA? Come on man, this is a *wireless* internet provider, they will have you mapped to the location, as well as your content and who you connect with.
