If you have been reading The Prepaid Press, you realize that we broke a story in January, 2005, detailing how AT&T is overcharging GIs for calls back from Iraq and Afghanistan. If you haven't seen this story, go read it now. The story received a lot of attention, including the New Jersey Star Ledger, who used it in an article in May, 2005.
As soldiers started to come back from Iraq, they began telling horror stories of AT&T overcharging. Cards with 200 minutes only getting 30 minutes, or less. This unconscionable situation has finally caught the eye of an organization big and politically powerful enough to do do something about it, the American Legion.
A resolution is headed for the National Convention in June, and you can read the exclusive story here .
Please let us hear from you, and make your comments below.

The actual American Legion resolution from the Dept. of NY must be reviewed by the resolution committee of NY, if accepted then will be voted on in July at the NYS Dept.Convention, if passed, then will be forwarded to the National Convention in August.
I have high hopes that it will make it to the National level.
Thank you Gene and the Pre-Paid Press for alerting the American Public that the calling card problem existed. If not for your story covering this topic, we would all still be in the dark!
