Clearly I find some humor in the picture from the previous post, but I think I need to make myself clear regarding how I feel about the number of Americans who seem to want to jump ship. Moving to Canada because you disagree with the past election and/or current administration is the WRONG thing to do. Now is the time for all true patriots to stand their ground. If you feel there is something in this nation that needs to be corrected then get involved and do something about it. Don’t run away like a scared coward.

Today I have finally kicked the Monkey called Verizon off my back, at least for Local Phone service. My original phone number completed transfer to Vonage sometime this morning. No more $54 phone bills. Today is a good day.

I am one of the many idividuals who has recently switched his phone service from Verizon to Vonage. So far I have been pleased with the service and have been using it for outgoing calls (our phone number is still in process for the transfer from Verizon to Vonage). What’s really graet about Vonage is the price. For $24.99 I get unlimited long distance and local calling; and there is only one federal regulatory fee on the bill in the amount of $1.50! Well, the good news is that it looks like that is going to stay that way for a while. The FCC has announced that it will not allow individual States to place regulatory fees on what it considers to be nothing more than an internet application. I’m sure that in the end this will just be temporary as the Feds figure out how they themselves want to tax VoIP, but I’ll take it for now. It’s much better than paying the roughly $54 that Verizon is charging me each month.

P.S. If anyone out there has cable broadband and wants to ditch their phone company email me and I’ll send you a referral. We both get a free month if you sign up off a referral.

I came across this site that is showing electoral votes based on current polls. The author says he will keep the mapping up-to-date tommorow as results come in.
