“Lost” and “Hobbit” actress Evangeline Lilly is trying to sell her followers on CREDO, a mobile phone service reseller that donates a portion of payments to prog groups like Media Matters, Planned Parenthood and Mayors Against Illegal Guns<\/a>. Here’s her Facebook post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

For the past six months or so, I have been using the only progressive mobile service carrier in the US: @CREDOmobile. http:\/\/www.credomobile.com\/<\/p>\n

CREDO uses a large percentage of my cell phone bill payments to help me fight for the causes I believe in, they keep me informed on issues that I care about and on top of all that, they provide the best, most personal service I’ve ever experienced from a cell phone carrier.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna have to stop you right there. CREDO uses a “large percentage” of your cell phone payments to fund left-wing causes? Sure thing, if by “large percentage” you mean one percent<\/a>, according to a recent Washington Free Beacon article.<\/p>\n

One. Percent.<\/p>\n

Math is so very hard. But let’s see what else Lilly has to say about CREDO.<\/p>\n

For the first time EVER, I feel really good about paying my cell phone bills.<\/p>\n

Would you like to make the switch? Learn more here: http:\/\/www.credomobile.com\/<\/p>\n

If you switch to CREDO mobile, tell them I sent you using this code: 91436<\/p>\n

Lilly is such a selfless giver that she wants credit for sending new customers to CREDO. Say, that wouldn’t be an affiliate code that compensates Lilly for new signups, would it?<\/p>\n

Update:<\/p>\n

It seems she’s finally figured out how this math business works:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/EvangelineLilly\/status\/370612560703143936\n

Her full Facebook post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It has been brought to my attention that @CREDOMobile uses 1% of my cell phone bill towards progressive activism. In my Facebook note I wrote “a large percentage”. Obviously 1% is not a larger percentage. I did not mean to be misleading, I was not intentionally being inaccurate. I hope I didn’t cause anybody too much distress with this carelessness.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, for me, 1% of my cell phone bill is a LOT more money than any other cell phone carrier is offering to donate to progressive action on my behalf. ($73 million since 1985 as Doug Long pointed out.)<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

Uh, you’re welcome.<\/p>
