Only One Phone Company Fights the Dirty Keystone XL Pipeline. Join CREDO Mobile Today. We really shouldnt have to be handcuffed and marched away from the White House to stop the Keystone XL dirty oil pipeline. But thats what happened to me twice. And just last week we witnessed the inspiring power of hundreds of students handcuffing themselves to the White House fence. In the end, 398 young people got arrested, sending a powerful message to President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and any Democrat thinking of running for president in 2016. CREDO is proud of the fact that so far this year weve given over $160,000 to our friends at 350.org, a key ally in our fight to stop the Keystone XL pipeline. And just this week we announced a grant of over $70,000 to Friends of the Earth, a group responsible for exposing a State Department contractors massive conflict of interest discrediting the recently finalized environmental impact statement. Make the switch to CREDO Mobile, Americas progressive phone company, and fight Keystone XL every time you use your phone. You probably already know that CREDO is willing to go to the mat to stop this dirty tar sands pipeline. But it may surprise you to know who is supporting the Keystone carbon bomb beyond the usual suspects like climate-change deniers, oil companies and the bought-and-paid-for lobbyists. The CEOs of AT&T and Verizon, the two phone companies that provide mobile phone service for most Americans, are on the wrong side of Keystone XL. In 2013, the Business Roundtable—the elite group of CEOs of the nations biggest companies—announced its support for building the Keystone pipeline. Who is on the groups executive committee? Randall Stephenson, the CEO of AT&T. And who serves as an at-large member of the group? Lowell McAdam, the CEO of Verizon Communications, the owner of Verizon Wireless. The choice could not be clearer. The phone company you choose makes a difference. For good—or for bad. I have the great privilege of serving as the CEO of CREDO Mobile. And given the astonishing outpouring of opposition from our members and activist friends to building the Keystone XL pipeline, I have been honored to represent this groundswell of opposition at the White House fence twice in the past. And Im ready and willing to join thousands of others who care deeply about this issue and have pledged to risk arrest if necessary to stop this pipeline. We expect a decision on Keystone XL in the next few months. And we are fighting this pipeline with everything weve got. CREDO members have stepped up in truly unprecedented numbers—almost 650,000 of us have submitted more than 2.5 million petition signatures. More than 300,000 of us turned in public comments to the State Department opposing the pipeline. Literally hundreds of us have been arrested. And over 85,000 of us have signed the Keystone XL Pledge of Resistance, organizing to be arrested if necessary to stop this pipeline. This is it. Its the home stretch in our long fight to stop this disastrous tar sands pipeline. In order to stop the carbon bomb, we must step it up even more. Will you step it up by joining CREDO Mobile, whose revenues help make this all possible? Michael Kieschnick, President and CEO, CREDO Mobile
