Apparently gays and blacks like to pay too much to their phone companies

I support federally funded political campaigns.  Both Republicans and Democrats go hat-in-hand to large corporate donors and, well, that's paid off for AT&T.  Their proposed merger with T-Mobile is bad - really bad - for the consumer.  The result will be a virtual duopoly between AT&T and Verizon and the loser will be the rest of America.

Imagine if AT&T had never been broken up.  I can't fathom what cell phones and the internet would be like if AT&T had maintained a monopoly.  We'd probably still have this:

Sadly, the years of competition are coming to an end.

The title of this post comes from the story in the Politico that the NAACP and GLAAD (gay-rights group) have both come out in favor of the merger.  They both said it had nothing to do with the donations they've received from AT&T over the years.

Of course not!
