Sometime this fall, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) will decide whether to approve the sale of Verizon's landlines in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont to North Carolina-based FairPoint Communications.  The sale gives Verizon an easy way to abandon its less profitable rural landline customers, while retaining more profitable wireless and large business customers.  Verizon picked tiny FairPoint because of an obscure tax loophole that allowed them to avoid paying up to $700 million on the sale! 

If approved, the proposed Verizon sale to FairPoint sets a dangerous precedent with national implications for all rural areas.  Fill out your name and address information to tell to the Federal Communication Commission to Stop the Sale!*

Note: After this petition is submitted to the FCC it will be publicly available.

*To protect yourself, if you are an employee of Verizon or FairPoint working in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont, please do not sign or send this email to the FCC.
