Save The Internet!

Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects.
Judge Dalzell


Congress is now pushing a law that would end the free and open Internet as we know it. Internet providers like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress hard to gut Network Neutrality, the Internet's First Amendment and the key to Internet freedom. Net Neutrality prevents AT&T from choosing which websites open most easily for you based on which site pays AT&T more. So Amazon doesn't have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to work more properly on your computer.

Many members of Congress take campaign contributions from these companies, and they don't think the public are paying attention to this issue. Let's show them we care - please sign this petition today.

SAVE THE INTERNET!

And Congress will listen to us "little people". Ha. But we still have to let'em know.

"And you people who never respond back to commenters or those of you who create a blog and then disappear"...Guess I am guilty of the latter, so I don't want to be guilty of the former. Or I could just blame it on my A.D.D.!

Must admit I am jealous! All those computers...we have 4 here too, but they always seem to be occupied!
