AT&T/Big Telecom set to lobby Congress about your "privacy"

http://j.mp/112cWqw  (Truth Out)

       "Dubbed the 21st Century Privacy Coalition, the group will
	represent AT&T, Verizon, DirectTV, Comcast, Time Warner Cable
	and CITA-The Wireless Association. The group is led by Jon
	Leibowitz, the recently departed chairman of the Federal Trade
	Commission (FTC) and former lobbyist, and former Rep. Mary
	Bono Mack, a California Republican who raked in thousands of
	dollars of donations from the telecom industry before leaving
	Congress last year."

Big Telecom -- which has been silent about NSA spying -- plans to
lobby on privacy issues. // Quote: "AT&T launching a privacy coalition is like
Ted Nugent launching a 'wildlife coalition.'"
