Okay, but what I want to know is...

...damn. Why would someone be so ate-up in a political issue that they'd willingly sign up for text messages to bombard their daily lives with constant rhetoric and propaganda?

No, I seriously don't care what side of this (or any other) issue one would be on - this is just dumb. NARAL is dumb for doing it, and Verizon is dumb for making any sort of fluff about it.

Whether or not Verizon thinks they have "taken sides" on this issue, by supplying this service they have supported one of the most divisive issues of our times. Please , Big Corp's, stop being PC and remain neutral. It is not only good for business it may actually help you keep customers.
