A roaming agreement would be far better!

I support the Tea Party's idea of cutting government spending, but I sincerely disagree with their assessment that this merger could be a good thing. If the idea of using resources from both networks is really at the heart of the proposed plan, why not just sign an agreement to allow both companies to use each other's towers? It doesn't require a full-on merger to make that happen!

This merger isn't good for anyone except AT&T's shareholders. They've clearly demonstrated over time that they don't really care about the quality of their service, and they've already indicated that they intend to remove "unnecessary" T-Mobile network equipment to prevent duplication, resulting in a substantial decrease in coverage for its customers, while at the same time increasing plan rates for T-Mo customers. This whole merger is a horrible idea for consumers, reducing choice and quality of service, at increased cost to the public. This thing should never be allowed to go through.

I'm with you and I am a tea party (note the lower case t&p) "member". If fact, you might be a 'member' too since there is no such thing. There is no real national "The Tea Party" but merely loosely affiliated groups with similar basic beliefs that speak to what you say you believe here (in line with The Boston Tea Party.

I mean look here where Lee has an 'R' after his name meaning he is a Republican. Not a "member" of a non-existent "The Tea Party".
Senator Mike Lee ( R -Utah)

I swear if it had been "The Boston Tea Consortium" then we wouldn't have this problem due to the fact that most nightly news reporters are dumber than they look.

Having said that, there are local groups that are actual political parties such as the... you guessed it...The Boston Tea Party

But as I said Mike Lee has an 'R' after his name. So go figger.

lol, the link I posted kind of disproves my point!

I was unaware of the afore-linked Boston Tea Party. It actually is a national political party (since 2006)!! I just searched for a random link to one of the local parties that I was talking about and grabbed that one.

In the words of The Spleen, "Big missstake!"

What I should've done was grab one like this...

But to reset, my point is that Lee is an 'R' and not a 'T'. And you don't have to carry a card to be a teapartier. You can be a D or an R or an L or a G. Actually maybe not a G.
