Safelink Wireless, the largest cellphone provider of the Lifeline program and a subsidiary of Tracfone, was created under the administration of George William Bush which received grants from a company that was launched during the Bill Clinton’s time and it was done because of an act passed by President Franklin Roosevelt which in turn was influenced because of an agreement between President Woodrow Wilson’s administration and some telecom service providers. So you can realize that this free cellphone service has a pretty long history and the claim about the Obama phone is nothing but a false rumor.
Where's the Limbaugh/Repug/conservative outrage over "socialistic" confiscation of taxes to subsidize/REGULATE, for decades, TX rural phone landlines so the bubbas pay only $5/month vs $30/month in non-rural areas?
Serious question...cite for those rates?Quote:

I seriously doubt the Romney campaign put it up, though.
They don't pay "cheap" rates, but technically their hard wire service is subsidized to a certain extent. The point was that in rural areas the cost per unit to provide service can be extremely high...in some cases the phone company may have to run miles of wire just to serve one customer. These rural phone companies do get some federal assistance which comes from the taxes/fees everyone pays on their phone bills.Quote:

Oh, so you think it's an Obama campaign website then.Quote:

I was told by a rural telephone company that their coop members pay only $5/month (and sometimes get a disbursement of excess coop funds, coops not allowed to have excesses).
What I find is that in the last year or so, TX rural rates have gone up a couple $, and are now $6 to $7, confirming what I heard. Plus yearly increases of about $2.5 until the rates are mostly equal to non-rural rates.
Most rural telephone companies would be broke in a few months if they weren't subsidized by re-distributive/socialistic USF.
GFY Chump. I have no idea who put it up and did not say that the Obama campaign did it. However, it's pretty damn obvious they haven't made them take it down.Quote:

I understand that dumbass. It's not a particularly professional job but if you google search Obama phone that's what comes up and it clearly calls it the obama phone, clearly explains who qualifies, and clearly links to applications. It's not just a fucking masthead. If the Obama campaign didn't want the site to be up, they could get it shut down in a heartbeat.Quote:
