Serious Support - HR3481
You Really need to call your Congressman and support this BILL: HR3481.
Watch this video and understand. I have called my phone co. and told them I will no longer pay their Universal Service Fund that provides for all of these free phones. They can pound sand and eat my chicken. They can cancel my phone. (I'll get a free one)

Uncle Sam's Unlimited Plan: Learn more about this
costly government giveaway
Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill...—a millionaire many times over—could
apply for a free cell phone, complete with monthly service, paid for by the
federal government. From what McCaskill could tell, “you just had to check the
box” saying you met the income requirements, submit the form, and collect the
phone....Like just about every other government program - it’s run phenomenally well.
A 2011 audit found that 269,000 wireless Lifeline subscribers were receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers. Several websites have been created to promote “free” government cell phones, including the ”The Obama Cell Phone” website at ObamaPhone.net.
Like just about every other government program - it has grown exponentially under President Obama.
In 2008, there were 7.1 million Lifeline accounts nationwide. There are 12.5 million today....
This program has swelled from $772 million in 2008 to $1.6 billion.
And that’s only just getting warmed up.
(Lifeline spending) would reach $3.3 billion by 2014 absent major reforms.
And Lifeline is but a part of the gi-normous boondoggle that is the Universal Service Fund (USF). Is your cell phone bill ridiculous? Check the taxes:
As of the third quarter of 2012, the USF fee, which changes quarterly, equals 15.7 percent of a telecom company's interstate and end-user revenues....
And that huge percentage of our money is going up even and ever more absurdly higher.
Proposed contribution factor for fourth quarter 2012 is...17.4 percent.
So we are hurtling towards a 20% tax rate on our monthly cell phone bill - just by and for the Federal Government. Which was an $8 billion total take in 2010 - and hurtling ever upward.
And for what? Ever greater Lifeline spending. And a new, completely illegal nightmare - Internet service.
