Make sure you keep repeating the mantra! The problem is not jobs leaving the country, it is not capital equipment leaving the country, the problem is not intellectual property leaving the country, the problem is not contracts going to communistic/fascistic/socialistic government run countries that prop up their companies with government funds to defer losses that the US companies cannot compete against...
THE PROBLEM IS YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT IT!! JUST KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THINGS WILL GET BETTER AND THEY WILL!

Time for everyone to cut Earthlink.
If the company cuts their own and messes with the American worker like this, it should be eliminated.
Sad that the government won't impose any penalty on this type of coporate behavior.

I've been calling them every month for the last four months, threatening to cancel my DSL. They always ask why and I say that I'm going with SBC for half the price. They knock $25 off my bill to stay. now I can give them another reason to quit.

It will also free up money for marketing, he said. Yep, tell 'em how great you are as you flush your service down the toilet.

I could have gotten 6 months free Earthlink or AOL when I bought my Dell. I told them I'd rather have a rock instead. the sales rep on the phone said "What do you mean a rock?"
I said, you know, a stone or a piece of gravel....Zinged right over his head.

Did you know? Your ISP - EARTHLINK.NET - undermines the God-ordained institution of marriage & family.Dear [My name was here.], According to Gay.com, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) EARTHLINK.NET supports the causes of two major homosexual activists groups: The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). To see what a portion of your Earthlink.net subscription fee goes to support, take a look at this Earthlink ad with Gay.com - "Wanna hook up?" - which has an obvious double entendre message about Internet service and sex. Your subscription fees to Earthlink.net (and subsidiary ISP's MindSpring.com and OneMain.com) undermine the God-ordained institution of marriage and family. The HRC, the nation's largest homosexual lobby, has a goal to gain marital status for men or women who have oral or anal sex with each other. Recent headlines from their website include the following: "HRC Lauds Ruling that Allows Same-Sex Couples the Freedom to Marry in Ontario, Canada" and "HRC Praises General Electric Co. and Unions for Adding Domestic Partner Benefits." HRC sponsored a 'Two Spirit' conference in the Washington, DC, area that included the following workshops: A transgender workshop teaching young girls how to have their breasts removed to become 'men' - An S&M workshop to show attendees how to effectively torture each other - A workshop on "Polyamory," or having sex with multiple partners. TAKE ACTIONWhy do business with a company that undermines your values? We suggest you consider changing your Internet service and then let Earthlink know why you switched. One company we recommend is AFO.net (American Family Online). This full service Internet company provides all of the features of Earthlink plus extensive filtering to protect you and your family, and they will never sponsor or promote behaviors offensive to our Christian values. Plus, they are offering a 45-day FREE TRIAL just for Earthlink subscribers. CLICK HERE to sign-up, or here to learn more about what AFO has to offer. They have many options to accommodate your needs. When you make the switch be sure to let management at Earthlink know why! Here are some details. . . AFO.net - Family Friendly Internet Service
- $21.95 Monthly
- 45-day free Trial for Earthlink (MindSpring & OneMain) Subscribers
- Cable, DSL and Satellite Available in Many Areas

Don't blame you; don't blame me. Blame the executive behind the tree.

Oh, please! Internet access used to be pricey, now you got all these companies competing which drove the rates way, way down benefiting you - the consumer! And you are complaining?
Why don't you start up your own internet company, charge $20-$30 a month over what Earthlink charges and hire strictly American. We'll see how many american jobs you'll create.

My Earthlink DSL took a dump last month and they told me that while they were trying to fix my circuit that Earthlink sales had sold my circuit to someone else. They explained that my circuit was the last one available in my village and I was just SOOL. I changed to the local Ma Bell DSL , which has better service, at half the cost. I also dont receive fifty + pieces of crappy SPAM everyday. Earthlink used to be pretty good but its accounts have been so SPAMMED up that's its just a pain in the a** trying to deal with it.

Not to mention how the limousine liberals pasted Kathee Lee and Frank Gifford for employing "slave labor," the same slave labor for which the limousine liberals' Goldman & Sachs accounts reap billions every quarter.

Gross ad IMO.
My problem with using other providers is that first I travel all over the west for business and need local access numbers to get email, etc. If I stayed in one place changing to another ISP would be no problem. My second problem is that many other nationwide providers do not have a local ISP number for my community, including AFO. I'm probably stuck with Earthlink.

Yet another dagger in the back of American workers Look at post #5: I've been calling them every month for the last four months, threatening to cancel my DSL. They always ask why and I say that I'm going with SBC for half the price. How dare he choose a cheaper provider?! Does he realize that he's driving prices down and thus the wages of the american worker!?
