Spread the word. Most people probably don't understand what's at stake on this one and they should.

I watched Moyer's program about net neutrality on public television earlier tonight. I'm glad I did, as I hadn't been previously aware of this important issue.

This isn't new. It's been going on for some time. We need to make our voices heard.

Yay! lol The corporate sycophants in congress get slapped down – Round one goes to the lowly peasants!

It's been said the corporations spent over 150 million trying to get this through congress. It's also been said that what actually killed the bill was a moronic speech by a senator who had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. If you can find this speech on google or Youtube, by all means listen to it and you'll see what I am talking about.

A small but great victory.

somehow I think we are going to loose this battle. I wrote both Senitors a paper letter on this one. I recieved a written reply from one of them.

as it is im overpaying to be online. Our governor cut a special deal- that is Philly is served wifi- small towns can be bipassed. :the result- they pay more in small towns -but hold one= somehow they pay more in philly too!!!

hmmm.
