It is the free and open exchange of ideas that has been the primary factor in

the miraculous and inspiring growth of the world wide web as we know it today.

But now corporate telecom giants in our own country like AT & T and

Verizon are spending millions of dollars to try to get Congress to

enable corruption of the internet

There are some real heros in Congress like Rep Ed Markey (D-MA) who

are fighting to preserve our surfing freedoms with corrective

amendments.

 

And there are some real enemies like Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), whose

" Communications Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act of 2006, " as has

become all too usual, does exactly the OPPOSITE

of what its title suggests.

 

The House Commerce Committee is scheduled to take up consideration of this

crippling of the internet this Wednesday, April 26, and we need every voice we

have, with the freedom we now have, to USE the internet to demand that they

enact strong protections for net neutrality.
