Re: Consumer groups; the unions; & public officials on Board too That statement purposely overlooks all the others on the Board of Directors too to make a point. An invalid point. All the other what...pseudo-consumer groups, trade partners and lobbying groups co-opted to pretend this is a consumer-oriented endeavor? Like The "National Consumers League," whose former chair and current board member is Sam Simon of Issue Dynamics, a PR firm paid millions by AT&T and Verizon to distort policy? Their partner page is a who's who list of telecom lobbying firms and their co-opted lobbying friends.
You do know that lobbying experts now use "legitimate" groups to push company agendas under the guise of consumer advocacy, yes? Even the National Association of the Deaf, concerned about getting big cash donations every year from Verizon, acts like a Verizon bullhorn on tech policy and lobbying issues, regardless of whether those positions benefit their constituents.
Americans need to wise up to some of this stuff. Sooner, rather than later. |
