Subject: [CCMTM] Contact Congress Immediately to Stop large local telephone
charges
Contact Congress Immediately to Stop This effort by large long distance
carriers.
Last week, on October 15, 2008, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission)
Chairman circulated a proposal that would allow your local telephone companies
to raise the rates for your local telephone service by 30 to 40%, if not more.
This proposal, if it is allowed to pass, will effectively put that money
into the hands of long distance giants like AT&T and Verizon. The proposal is
to shift current long distance costs to your local telephone company which
is why your local rates will rise, but there is nothing which requires the long
distance companies to lower your phone bills by a single penny while those
companies will save literally billions of dollars annually in current costs.
The FCC is expected to go ahead with its proposal soon unless they receive
effective opposition, especially from Congress. Let your Representatives and
Senators know immediately that you want them to stop this proposal that will
harm consumers. If members of Congress learn that their constituents do
not like this deal, especially in these fragile economic times and on the eve
of elections, they are likely to direct the Commission to reconsider.

IF CONGRESS DOES NOT HEAR FROM YOU IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THIS PROPOSAL WILL
BECOME THE LAW AND YOU WILL LOSE.
