Net Neutrality Committee Vote Update

The Energy and Commerce Committee has had its vote on Congressman

Markey's amendment to save the Internet, and we lost, 22-34. But it's

not a total loss.

The above tries to put a positive spin on things but the fact is that

Net Neutrality lost its first battle today.

 

Please, eMail, phone or write your senators and representatives on

this issue. If they do not establish this principle in law the

Internet as we know it will become a walled garden owned and

controlled by telephone and cable companies to the detriment of the

entire country and its economy.

 

Here are a couple of places you can get more information:

In particular visit the " SavetheInternet " link for information. If

you don't have time to write a letter please at least sign their

petition.

Please tell your friends and encourage them to write as well.

Please, pass this on.

 

Thanks so much for your help for OUR INTERNET!!!
