Because I Want You To

Activists tend to be really focused and that is an asset when trying to achieve a goal but they tend to lose sight of other aspects of reality. They forget what is important to them is not important everyone. They tend to think everyone should bend over backwards to help them achieve their goal. Anyone that hinder their progress, become evil in their eyes.

Nancy Keenan, Naral's president, told The New York Times, which first reported the story on its Web site Wednesday night, that Verizon's decision interfered with political speech and activism.


"No company should be allowed to censor the message we want to send to people who have asked us to send it to them," Keenan said. "Regardless of people's political views, Verizon customers should decide what action to take on their phones. Why does Verizon get to make that choice for them?"


So by not fulfilling a request, Verizon is now interfering. Verizon is under no legal obligation to grant them there request, which is why it is called a request. That is why they had to ask.
Naral Pro-Choice America can respond in several ways which includes boycotting Verizon but to claim that Verizon doesn’t have right to say no is rather selfish and immature. Not everybody share the same world view and to think other wise leads to disaster.

I don’t know why Verizon said no and I really don’t care. I don’t care who they said no to, whether it is to a Christian group or a neo-Nazi group, they have a right to refuse their business.

Oh and to answer their stupid question, "Because no one is forcing anybody to buy their services". Don't like their services, go somewhere else and grow up while you are at it.
