Congress is Selling Out the Internet
If you are an American and you enjoy the freedom you have to surf the internet, you should really pay attention to the following:
Do you buy books online, use Google, or download to an Ipod? These
activities will be hurt if Congress passes a radical law that gives
giant corporations more control over the Internet.Internet providers like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress hard
to gut Network Neutrality, the Internet’s First Amendment. Net
Neutrality prevents AT&T from choosing which websites open most
easily for you based on which site pays AT&T more. Amazon.com
doesn’t have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to work more
properly on your computer.Politicians don’t think we are paying attention to this issue. Many of
them take campaign checks from big telecom companies and are on the
verge of selling out to people like AT&T’s CEO, who openly says,
“The internet can’t be free.”The free and open Internet is under seige–can you sign this petition
letting your member of Congress know you support preserving Network
Neutrality? Click here:http://www.civic.moveon.org/save_the_internet
