Wireless Tax Fairness Act
Between federal, state and local government taxes and fees on your monthly wireless bill, you’re paying an average of more than 16%. That’s more than double the average sales tax rate of about 7% that you pay on other goods or services you buy. Congress can stop all unfair, new state & local wireless taxes and fees, for 5 years. US House passed it, now the US Senate must act.
Digital Goods
Consumers are in danger of being taxed multiple, discriminatory times for purchases of all digital commerce, unless Congress acts to protects them
Emergency 911 Services and Funding
Often, wireless consumers & public safety are harmed when states raid E-911 funds. Keep E-911 fund use strictly for system upgrade purposes.

Or did you mock the democrats ;)
People that own cell phones are convinced they couldn't live without them.
Shouldn't there be a;
'LIVE WITHOUT YOUR CELL PHONE DAY'
where everyone leaves their cell phones in the nightstand and off to work/college/the beach/ the mall/ whatever...
Then do interviews about the trauma that occurred the previous day.
I apologize in advance for being smug about my conceived superiority to people that have to trudge thru life attached to the tangled web we've woven ourselves in to to find one day we would have been just fine without any of these modern day technological breakthrough devices.
Talk about being brainwashed!
But yes you do have to be available in case your boss wants to fire you.
What else are they good for?
(only thing I can think of - when women are stranded at night because their car broke down - hopefully near a cell tower - if not? well how well does that cell phone do doubling as a baseball bat?)
Never bring a baseball bat to a cell phone fight. LOL
Bcounted.
