Go Here NOW! Tell all Reps to keep the internet NEUTRAL!
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 12:24 PM by Dr_eldritch
http://www.savetheinternet.com/=map

Follow this link to the map of each Congressman that is working on this issue TODAY. Click on the yellow dots(not voted yet) to get the name and phone number of the Reps that are deciding on the issue of net neutrality.

Corporations cannot be given such control over our internet!

I cannot stress how important this issue is... for more info, go here;
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/josh-silver/congress-casting-vote-on-_b_19793.html

It doesn't matter whether they are your Representative or not, call them anyway and tell who ever you speak with that the Rep MUST keep the internet neutral!

Let them know that we are ALL watching them and that when their constituents feel the crunch of the corporations taking big bites out of their wallets and their access.... We will make CERTAIN those constituents KNOW WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE!

I have two down already and 20+ to go.

NOW GET ON IT!!!

24. If anyone here can...
Please go to where I cross-posted with a more appropriate title and rec so we can get this to GP.
The current title in GP is not informative enough.

2. Lee Terry Jr., the republican weasel bastard that you know
he will always be. Voted AGAINST internet nuetrality. You can write, fax, and call that scum and he'll always vote against the citizens of Nebraska and their best interest.

He's such a whore, and if rumors are true, in more ways than one.

5. Tell them we're watching...
That the voters will know who screwed them.

Did you call them all?
It's only taken me an average of 2 minutes each call so far... If we all spend just one hour on this today, they'll know hot hot this issue is.

Let's go people...

15. On edit...
With one e-mail I may have sent the news around to as many as six thousand people who have a vested interest in keeping the internet free...other authors and readers, among others.

4. Might get more takers if you make the subject line more informative
Lots of us don't take orders like "Go Here NOW" Lots won't even click on a thread with that order. :shrug:

But if you mention ... to tell Congress to save the internet you will probably get more takers. ;)

Just a friendly suggestion.

17. Why not start another thread using Havocmom's suggestion,
then ask for this one to be locked.

I only opened this thread because I value the author's opinions, otherwise I wouldn't have opened this either.

I've already started making phone calls ...

Thanks for posting this.

No one's touched it yet, but perhaps we could go K&R it for the rest of DU.

I'll ask the mods.

12. Another one down for me...
Just spoke with 'Ambrosia' at Maine Rep. Allen's office.

She doesn't know his position, but is communicating messages to him.

How's everyone else doing?

21. Here is my impassioned, heartfelt letter to my reps sent via the link
Please act immediately to save the Internet by supporting Network Neutrality.

Television has become the means whereby those with monetary power can shape public perception and policy to suit their own selfish ends, which are often opposed to the common good of US Citizens and the entire world.

The Internet is a revolutionary medium whereby anyone can contribute to the political, moral, philosophical, and cultural dialogue regardless of their economic power. It is the medium by which true democracy and public participation – which were severely degraded by the era of television - may be restored.

It would be tragic to allow large powerful corporations to use their wealth to monopolize and control this fantastic new medium of democracy and turn it into another tool of propaganda of the powerful in the way that happened to television.

Please act to save Save Network Neutrality. This is very likely the single most important item on the American Political Agenda right now. It will determine the participation level of all citizens from all parties on all future issues. The loss of Network Neutrality would be a deadly blow to true democracy.

Sincerely,

*********

And so very true.

I think we need the version of this with a better title on GP.

29. There's nothing to debate...
Either preserve freedom, or watch it be smashed under the heavy boot of corporate profiteering.

What's her problem?
