I just sent an e-mail on this topic to several author and reader e-mail lists, totalling around 6000 people.

We need to fire EVERYONE up about it. This isn't a partisan issue. This is an CITIZEN issue.

1. Here's my letter. Why this is critical, non-partisan issue. democracy

Here is what I wrote in the form to be sent to my reps:

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,
