Kicked to the curb

Check out the footage of Glenn Greenwald and Jane Hamsher attempting to talk to attendees of a swanky AT&T sponsored party last night.

AT&T's name is littered across both the DNC and RNC party lists as a host of lavish receptions as well as a major donor to both conventions' Host Committees.  AT&T has a lot at stake in Congress in 2009.  Smells wrong.

AT&T knows its in hot water

AT&T and other cell phone service providers know they are in deep trouble and trying to gain political favor on both sides of the isle. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and others have cell phone antenna installations that do not meet FCC health and safety regulations. As a result, many workers are being over exposed to RF Radiation. To make matters worse, the service providers make sure that their own employees are adequately trained in RF safety procedures and turn the antennas off when necessary. In contrast, they do absolutely nothing when it comes to the roofer, the HVAC repairman, the electrician, and firefighter etc. This is a discriminatory safety practice which will lead to widespread lawsuits. Third party workers only have to prove that they were over exposed to RF (very simply done) and suffer from any of a host of behavioral or cognitive problems such as headaches, dizziness, mood-swings, nausea etc. This will be the next asbestos and the service providers know it.
