SaveTheInternet Petition from MoveOn
MoveOn has a new petition where you can voice your concerns about the importance of preserving Net Neutrality:
Write to your Representative and Senators. Write to your local newspaper and share your position. Bring up the issue when you're talking with your family, friends, or neighbors.
We can't afford to lose the one open, truly democratic medium of communication that we have. This is a battle we must win - and one we can and will win, if we work together.
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.Petition campaigns aren't typically the big guns that win a political battle, but doing something is better than doing nothing. Show you care about the issue and speak out. If you have the time and energy to do more, then do more.
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.
