Ooh, so now its hate to want people to be able to afford stuff and not live in poverty?

Where the hell do you live that you think its only 3 months?

See this is the problem with liberalism, compelete and total ignorance..

"Well 3 months aint bad, so yes, I support it".. Completely ignoring the fact that 3 months IS A LIE..

Then, how about you fork out your money to pay for all these people who get it for free? Yes, YOU and every other liberal out there who wants to take care of the "people." YOU take care of them and leave me out of it. I don't really care some people don't have access to the internet. You want internet, a computer, and a cell phone? Get a job and pay for it like the rest of us.

Sure. I'll put in for it.

Who can I cut the check to and how much does it cost for them to provide 10 households with internet for a year? I also have a few spare computers I could toss in, too.

There was a link in the beginning of this thread. Send them an email, call them, or write them a letter. I gurantee they won't except one dime of your money or your computers. But if they do, tell them to leave my tax dollar alone and give it back too me.

Looks like Connect2Compete doesn't take any of your tax money, so you're good. Already sent them an email and messaged a few partners about getting together computers that match their requirements for a mass donation.

Connect2Compete, launched as a program of the Federal Communications Commission in 2011, became an independent nonprofit organization in the summer of 2012.
And if you're looking to boycott companies that support their initiative, here's a few:
Microsoft
Comcast
Cox
FreedomPop
Arrow, Electronics

The welfare lifers don't care as long as you give them free stuff.

This is an example of low life scum robbing people who just got wiped out, didn't even have heat in freezing temperatures.

Mr Ausie doesn't have a clue because he only see's useful idiots that help promote Obama's agenda.




I DO have a clue! There's scum everywhere, yes, but in a country that actually takes care of its people, you don't have these types of situations. No need use insults, I was just posting what I saw and experienced! Glad I was able to move to Australia. you can have your cut-throat "I've got mine" BS attitudes. No wonder America sucks so bad now!! Glad I was able to move out of there and to a country that kbows how to take care of its people
