jaunthieWake up, America. Grab a cup of coffee, any and all of you who use the Internet (and if you're reading this, I assume that's you.) Open your eyes, because Congress is about to give away the Internet to the big telecommunications companies, such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast. Your free Internet, with its equal access to all sites, is about to become controlled and "directed" to where and what the big companies want you to see (for a fee of course).
Awake yet? Then go write your Congressfolk ASAP. You have until Wednesday to try and make a difference.
I've blogged about this before, but if you want more info:
CNet
The Register
TPM Cafe
Slashdot: Your Rights Online (search their db)
...or just do a little searching on your own, while the Internet still directs your traffic equally.
