Net Neutrality

Let's revisit the subject of Net neutrality.
I have just completed a Letter to the Editor to my home newspaper-theRockford Register Star. I'm not sure when or if it will appear.
Here is the letter:

"Net neutrality" is a concept that most Americans don't know about. It's essentially the First Amendment for the Internet -- allowing Web users to go where they want and do what they please online. This democratic standard is why the Internet has become a revolutionary force for economic innovation and new ideas.
AT & T, Verizon and Comcast want to seize control of the Internet and limit online choice to the companies that pay THEM the most money.
These companies want to do away with Net Neutrality--they are asking Congress to pass legislation that allows them to control which web sites get priority over everything else & which ones are left behind.
The research I conduct regarding news, world politics, environmental & humanitarian issues are not found in the mainstream media on TV, it's from the Internet.
In the Senate, Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) need support for a strong Net Neutrality bill that would prohibit broadband providers from fencing off the Internet for those who can pay the most.
All Americans need to urge our members of Congress to support Net Neutrality. Any one who cares about preserving Internet freedom should fight for it today.

I am asking all who read this to go to the following link:

Save the Internet : Fighting for Internet Freedom


From there, go to "ACT NOW" and write a letter to your editor. There are other ways to help--just follow the links.

Have a great Sunday!
