A San Francisco-based wireless company is unabashedly mixing its liberal political activism with business, a strategy that has won the praise of President Obama but not the confidence of marketing analysts.
A San Francisco-based wireless company is working liberal political activism into its business plan in a unabashedly partisan marketing strategy that experts say could catch on in today's polarized culture -- but also could alienate many potential customers.
The company, CREDO, even boasts that it has the support of President Obama as it markets itself as an agent of social change. It pitches its mobile phone services with a vow to fight for "real" health care reform, free speech, peace and the environment.

At least this company is upfront about its ideological view. How many people really know the heads of Costco, Progressive, etc are majors donors to the Donkeys and liberal causes.
Just make sure you overcharge the customer by half to pay for “healthcare”. lol. Does this company even offer any benefits?
Their ad:
“Not only was AT&T a two-time maximum contributor to George W. Bush, they supported right-wing extremists like Senators Inhofe and Coburn,” the ad read. “Verizon Wireless has been a steady contributor to the Blue Dog Democrats — whose so-called ‘centrist’ approach threatens the public option in health care reform — since 2002.”
My take:
Thanks! That confirms my choice not to do business you and stay with Verizon. Thanks!
I don’t even look for it. If I know, I will avoid them but most times I don’t even want to know.
That is why we left Progressive insurance some time back. I don’t care if their insurance was half as much, I would still save money by not having to fight their agenda.
“””””Does this company even offer any benefits?”””””””
They are under fire from lefties because they are a non-union company. They also offer credit through MBNA bank - a major contributor to Bush’s campaigns.
A bunch of aging hippes... AT&T and Verizon have nothing to worry about.
Gee, an insurance company called "Progressive" donating to liberal causes. Who'da thunk it???
Non-Union company holding itself up as a leftist icon. lol.
And I’ve really seen enough of that ditzy sales girl.
