I wonder when this cycle will crash again. When the majority of people will rebel.

I am not sure I will have any understanding if people in the upcoming election choose to keep the Republicans in control of the House and Senate. Even if you are a moderate Republican I do not know why you would not want to restore some resemblence of checks and balances in this government and show all the polititcians that you do report to the citizens and not lobbyist and big business.

I truly believe my values are well in the center but why does this government make me think I am a far left wing...

Status: offline 		argh. you are correct!

This bill is in the middle of mark-up now. According to the info below, your Senators seem to be in support of Net Neutrality, but a phone call urging them to pressure the ones who do not might be a good thing. Here's the info I got from the home page of http://www.savetheinternet.com

Heres the latest from the Senate Commerce Committee where a mark-up on several amendments to Senator Stevens Telecom Act is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 10 AM. That probably means that the Snowe-Dorgan Net Neutrality amendment will come before Committee as early as the mid-afternoon.

If successful the vote on the amendment would put Net Neutrality language into the massive Telecommunications Act. This is critical.

If your senators sit on the committee, they need to hear from you today. Ask them to support the Snowe-Dorgan Net Neutrality amendment to the larger Telecom Act (S. 2686).

Here are the members of the committee who have not taken a strong position in favor of Internet freedom and for the Snowe-Dorgan Amendment. Call them now:

Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
Phone: 202-224-3004

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Phone: 202 -224-2235

Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.)
Phone: 202-224-2353

Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)
Phone: 202-224-5274

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.)
Phone: 202 224 3224

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.)
Phone: 202 224-4623

Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.)
Phone: 202-224-6253

Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont.)
Phone: 202-224-2644

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.)
Phone: 202-224-6551

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.)
Phone: 202-224-6244

Sen. John E. Sununu (R-N.H.)
Phone: 202-224-2841

Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.)
Phone: 202-224-3753

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)
Phone: 202 224-6121

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas)
Phone: 202-224-5922

Sen. George Allen (R-Va.)
Phone: 202-224-4024

Sen. John D. Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
Phone: 202-224-6472

Your phone calls actually make a difference. Please call now and urge your senators to support the bipartisan Snowe-Dorgan Internet Freedom amendment in the Commerce Committee. The free and open Internet as we know it is on the line.

 The money/profits are just mask for control. A power-hungry and manipulative minority segment of the population in a conquest to control the majority - A ''slaughtering of the lambs'' so to speak.

From Thales to Plato to Reimann, the greats have always told us that in order to advance the number and quality of life of the members of any society, the creativity behind that of individual as it relates to science/technology is absolutely key.

All this talk of ''Internet-two'' and the senate's recent vote to give these corporations free reign for control, is nothing more than an attempt to quell/quash that very ''expression'' of creativity that the ''greats'' talked about. I see it as essentially nothing more than nihilism  -  It’s the nihilism of the Neocons   HAR!

This fight is huge. I think we will lose.

Today I sent 2 handwritten paper letters to my senators.

As much as the treasury has been plundered..  

I could give Verizon a HUGE lecture now. They cant do me DSL, in a college town ? Yet- they send 200 lobbyist on this one bill!

Status: offline 		Ron Wyden has placed a hold on the Senate Bill (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/6/28/20337/0262) until it includes net neutrality.  I think we still have a real chance of getting this language.  I mean when Moveon.org and the Christian Coalition come together to support something, it is pretty obvious that it was broad grassroots supports, so it is really the grassroots versus the big corporate interests.  And it is an election year.
