FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net urges you to show your support for the “ObamaPhone” program by signing the WhiteHouse.gov petition
The free government cell phone program is under attack. Instead of letting the program be killed, FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net urges President Obama to expand the program to include more low income, needy Americans.
“60 million American households now live below the median income level,” Mark Henry, Editor of FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net said. “This program helps them survive, climb out of poverty and live with dignity. That’s why it’s so important for the Obama administration to expand it beyond its current restrictive limits.”
The WhiteHouse.gov petition states:
We believe the Obama administration should:
Expand the free government cell phone program.The Lifeline Assistance program gives free government cell phones and 250 free minutes per month to more than 10 million low-income Americans. Unfortunately, conservative politicians and talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh want to destroy this outstanding program. We support the free government cell phone program because it (1) stimulates the economy by helping people get in touch with potential employers, (2) improves medical care by helping Americans reach medical providers, (3) improves quality of life by keeping families in contact, (4) keeps us safer by allowing people to make emergency phone calls. The Obama administration should protect and expand this program in order to achieve economic fairness and social justice for 60 million households below the median income.
“President Obama has promised to address any petitions that receive 100,000 or more signatures,” Henry added. “We urge you sign the petition and tell your friends about it, too.”

Why is the program only offered in select states??? I have a brother with disability and so far he receives no government assistance. I been fighting for disability for over 4 years for him now. I pay all his bills. Sure would be nice if he could get a cell phone in NEBRASKA. That would be one less bill I would have to pay.
