I got this from a friend, but it's from the moveon political site. I signed n so should everyone I'm sending it to. ( IMHO) Love, Ginger 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? http://www.civic.moveon.org/save_the_internet A list of all the ways you might be affected by Net Neutrality is located on the bottom of this link:http://civic.moveon.org/alerts/savetheinternet.html Thanks! Respect is love in plain clothes.Frankie Byrne

hi been a lurker in this group for a long time, but have to speak on

this one

what gives the ceo of at & t the impression that the internet is free?

 

we pay hosting fees, domain registration fees, internet provider fees,

we have to buy a computer, graphics programs, learn html etc and hes

telling us its free???

 

it might be free for him, it certainly costs me personally, quite a

wad of money per year.
