Stop Comcast

Hi Jason, Comcast is anti-Net Neutrality, anti-competition and anti-customer service. Oh, and very, very full of itself. Because this horrible company thinks it deserves to take over the Internet. Right now, Washington is considering letting Comcast take over its chief rival, Time Warner Cable. If this terrible deal goes through, Comcast will wield even more control over our online experience and how we connect and communicate. Let's review Comcast’s track record. The company is: Bad at getting low-income communities online. Bad at serving customers. Good at getting a customer fired for daring to make a complaint. Good at scoring at the bottom of the barrel in customer-satisfaction surveys. Good at raising rates. Good at shelling out tens of millions to pay (ahem, I mean push) Washington to give it what it wants. Bad at paying taxes in its hometown of Philadelphia, leaving the city and area schools cash-strapped. Bad at treating its workers with respect. Good at offering employees low wages, high health-care costs and no opportunities to unionize. These are the facts. And we're supposed to believe that Comcast should be allowed to grow even bigger and exert even more control over our lives? Whaaaat? A merged Comcast-Time Warner Cable would hurt people in ways we can only begin to imagine. You can stop this takeover. Speak out now. Thanks— Mary Alice, Candace and the rest of the Free Press team freepress.net P.S. Just yesterday a new story offered further evidence of Comcast's incompetence. Don't forget to speak out against this ridiculousness now. P.P.S. Beating this giant is going to take everything we've got. Please contribute $10 or more today to help us stop Comcast in its tracks. Thank you!
