Verizon wants you to paid their Banking fees
Yes as of Jan 15, 2012 you will be paying the surcharges on behalf of Verizon the banks.. Which mean that charge the banks and other CC process center charges Verizon for did business this way is now on you. Its bad enough that Verizon sale people lie to you to get you to but the most expensive phones and plans which lock you for 2 or more years.. For the same services that other provide at a lower price..
Beginning on Jan. 15, Verizon will charge all customers a $2 “convenience fee” for paying their cellphone bill online or over the phone, according to documents obtained by Droid-Life. That’s right. If you’re living in the 21st century and don’t pay your cell phone bills via mailed paper check, you will be charged $2 every month, despite the fact that automated phone payments and online bill paying are likely the two cheapest ways Verizon can accept payment. Verizon explains the fee in this way: “Verizon Wireless strives to provide you with the best wireless experience. Effective January 15, 2012, we are implementing a $2.00 online and telephone payment convenience fee to help allow us to continue to support these bill payment options in these channels. The fee will be waved if you pay by electronic check or if you enroll in AutoPay.”
Update:
By the way, I found out that a recent report says Verizon paid zero federal income tax from 2008-2010, and actually got almost a billion dollars in rebates from taxpayers. So they definitely shouldn't be nickel and diming us.
Update 2
Verizon’s announcement of a $2 “convenience fee” for paying bills in certain ways has caught the attention of the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates telecommunications in the United States.
The F.C.C. said in a statement on Friday afternoon that it would look into the new fee, which goes into effect on Jan. 15.
“On behalf of American consumers, we’re concerned about Verizon’s actions and are looking into the matter,” the statement said.

Troubling the Waters of Jurisprudence in Order to Transform the Nation
TRIBUTE TO ATTORNEY ROMALLUS O. MURPHY
by
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, President
North Carolina State Conference of NAACP Branches
King Ahab ruled over a political system wrought with injustice. When he met the prophet Elijah, King Ahab asked him: "Are you he that troubleth Israel?" Elijah's prophetic, moral vision of justice -- rooted in the laws of God --collided with the arrogance and oppressive rule of Ahab. It could be said that Attorney Romallus O. Murphy used the law and moral authority to "troubleth" North Carolina and the United States.
Romallus O. Murphy "troubled the waters of jurisprudence." He used the law to trouble those who would preside over systems of racist and legal injustice. Attorney Murphy stands in the long tradition of Charles Hamilton Houston, Thurgood Marshall and so many more NAACP legal practitioners, who refused to be satisfied in the face of social wrongs. He troubled the powerful. He troubled the protectors of racism by summoning them into the courthouse, and forcing their policies and actions to be examined under the microscope of the Constitution, which promises "equal protection under the law." He greatly troubled the powerful in this state and nation.
Surely they often said, "Who is this Romallus?", son of the South, graduate of Howard University, the powerful rules of North Carolina ask. Who is this challenger of the status quo at UNC Law School, always underfunded and outnumbered, who challenged our defense of the past, who dared to trouble us and challenge our power? Never turning back, Attorney Murphy moved steadily forward, often alone in hostile courtrooms. His necessary troubling helped transform the nation and continues to inspire us never to be satisfied with inequality.
Thank God for those who would trouble the nation for the cause of righteousness. Thank God for the meaningful accomplishments of Romallus Murphy that have improved the lives of many people across the State of North Carolina and across this Nation.
Romallus Murphy served as Chair of the Legal Redress Committee of the North Carolina Conference of the NAACP beginning in the 1960s. Over the last half-century he and the many colleagues he inspired and recruited to the cause, gave invaluable counsel to clients and young lawyers alike who were, and still are, engaged in dismantling the old walls that have divided people of North Carolina along artificial lines of color and creed.
Romallus Murphy was a native of Houston, Texas. He attended college at Howard University in Washington, DC, graduating in 1951. He started at Law School at Howard University, but finished his legal education at the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1956 where he was the lone student of color.
Attorney Murphy began his legal career in Wilson, North Carolina, the only African-American attorney in this eastern North Carolina community. Since 1956, Attorney Murphy was a "steady and ready" legal warrior and advocate for civil rights. He was never afraid to engage forces of repression and regression in the struggle to elevate the lives of African-Americans. From the beginning of his legal practice, he fought mightily to end segregation and was a substantial force in the enactment of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
In 1987, Attorney Murphy was legal counsel to the North Carolina State Conference of Branches for the NAACP, and helped lead the legal team that forced the State of North Carolina to create electoral opportunities for Black lawyers to become Superior Court Judges. His lawsuit was the catalyst that forced the General Assembly to create majority black judicial districts. As a result of his efforts, at least eight African-American judges were elected to the Superior Court bench.
Attorney Murphy never sought the limelight. Instead, he chose to be a servant of the people. Without receiving the public acclaim which many civil rights leaders attained, Attorney Murphy worked in the trenches with those same leaders, achieving significant legal and political battles, and providing legal advice and leadership to the North Carolina NAACP for 45 years.
Without a doubt he will be missed and remembered as that quiet, but passionate, effective role model for the lawyers who follow his big footsteps. He was greatly admired and respected by everyone who knew him. His life's work is honored each year by the North Carolina NAACP's Annual Romallus O. Murphy Civil Rights Continuing Legal Education Program.
Romallus O. Murphy did trouble the Nation and the State for the right reasons and we are all the better for it, a little closer to the goals of liberty and justice for all. His living was not in vain. He fought the good fight and now, victory is his.

Federal Court Rejects Rep. LaRoque's Challenge to the Voting Rights Act
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 23, 2011

Federal Court Rejects Rep. LaRoque's Challenge to the Voting Rights Act
(DURHAM) - The US District Court for the District of Columbia rendered an opinion yesterday on the Kinston-based case LaRoque v. Holder. The court rejected a challenge to a key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that ensures minorities' right to vote. The Court ruled for the North Carolina NAACP, finding that Congress had ample evidence to justify enacting the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act with the 2006 amendments. The case, brought by several plaintiffs including a member of NC House of Representatives, Stephen LaRoque, challenges the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
The Southern Coalition for Social Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union intervened in the case on behalf of the NC NAACP and six minority residents. The challenge by the NC NAACP comes in response to concentrated efforts by ultra-conservative political operatives in North Carolina who are intent upon undermining the voting protections for African-Americans and other racial minorities. They are using race-based, aggressive and ill-advised efforts to prevent minorities from fully participating in the North Carolina political process. As it has for over 102 years, the NAACP is engaged in ongoing efforts to maximize the political power of racial minorities and will never back down to from fighting efforts to destroy the Voting Rights Act and the guarantees of the 15th Amendment.
"The Court's decision to protect the fundamentals of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a stand for justice and equality," said Rev. Dr. William J Barber, II, President of the North Carolina NAACP. "Voting rights are under attack across the country. Fourteen states have already passed voter suppression laws that limit access to the polls and disproportionately impact minorities, poor people, young people, students and the elderly. Minority voting power is under attack through redistricting plans that marginalize minority voters, packing them into a few segregated districts so their influence is muted. We applaud the Court for recognizing the importance of the Voting Rights Act in protecting the right to vote."
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a hard-fought, landmark civil rights law that helps protect African American's and other minorities' right to vote. Under Section 5 of the VRA, certain states with a history of voter suppression must have changes to their election laws approved to ensure they are not discriminatory. Forty counties in North Carolina are protected under Section 5 of the VRA.
