Jeff Biggers catches a shocking sponsorship by Verizon Wireless: Massey's Energy's "Friends of America" rally on Labor Day Weekend.

Do 87 million Verizon Wireless customers, stockholders, and its Public Policy Development and Corporate Responsibility department know that their company is a co-sponsor of next week's climate-change-denying union-busting pro-mountaintop removal rally organized by Massey Energy in Logan, West Virginia?

Here's the link.

Contact Verizon Wireless and let them know you find their support of this rally unacceptable.

Bottom line: Verizon should withdraw their sponsorship of this bogus rally immediately; or, explain their support of mountaintop removal, climate change-denial and union-busting to its 87 million customers.

Call or text or email Verizon Wireless corporate leaders and let them know.

The CEO email is: Dennis.Strigl@verizonwireless.com
