STOP CELL PHONE WELFARE:
Petition To Keep My Tax Dollars From Funding The "ObamaPhone" Welfare Program

More than 16 million of Americans are receiving free phone service at the expense of U.S. Taxpayers through the federal government’s "Lifeline" program. The program has grown by 76% under the Obama Administration as millions have jumped on board to get free cell phone service. Today, 12.5 million people get phone service on the government dole. The program provides free service to anyone who is at or below 135% of the poverty level ($31,117 in annual income for a family of four) or qualifies for any number of federal handout programs such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Section 8 housing.

It’s time to stop Cell Phone Welfare!
Given the desperate state of our nation’s economy and the ever-increasing mountain of government debt, Cell Phone Welfare must be stopped. Grassfire Nation will be delivering petitions to Congress demanding that the Cell Phone Welfare program be terminated immediately. Help end Cell Phone Welfare by signing this petition

I am signing this petition calling on Congress and the President to immediately terminate the "Lifeline" government phone welfare program. In the past three years, Government Phone Service Welfare has expanded by 76% and now 16 million people are on the government dole for free phone service. Given the state of our economy and the ever-increasing mountain of government debt, it’s time to end Cell Phone Welfare and the entire "Lifeline" program.
