If
ever there was evidence that the nation is becoming
increasingly polarized, it’s this: Cell phone users can now choose a
company that will donate some of its profits to liberal causes — and
refuse to cooperate with the Bush administration’s warrantless
surveillance program.
Credo Mobile, a division of the liberal firm Working Assets, has
partnered with Democracy for America, a progressive political action
committee born of Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, to create DFA
Wireless.
When subscribers make a call on a DFA Wireless phone, 10 percent of their monthly charges will go to Democracy for America.
The Federal Election Commission signaled approval of the transactions
because they are considered individual political contributions.
