Help Stop the Sale of Verizon to Frontier

The sale of Verizon's landlines to Frontier is a disaster waiting to happen. Similar deals in other states resulted in bankruptcy, lost jobs, unmet broadband promises and poor service.

This deal will pad the pockets of Wall Street executives while leaving West Virginia further behind.

Concerned about the sale of Verizon's landlines to Frontier? Help by writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Attend Public Service Commission hearings going on NOW while they take up the issue.

Visit www.bad4wv.org for more information. Also see Public Service Commission Testimony on the proposed sale of Verizon land lines to Frontier by Gary Zuckett, Executive Director, WV Citizen Action Group
