You know that I do not normally send things like this. But this issue is CRUCIAL

to us.

Would you consider signing this petition and passing this on.

 

 

 

Hi,

 

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?

A list of all the ways you might be affected by Net Neutrality is located on the

Thanks!
