jaunthieIt's up to the Senate to keep Net Neutrality a reality. Trust me, this is a freedom and a necessity that will outrage and horrify you if it is lost. There's a bill in the senate right now to preserve Net Neutrality, the Snowe-Dorgan bill (S-2917). Don't delay - write your senator RIGHT NOW and urge him or her to support the Snowe-Dorgan bill. You don't even have to use pen and paper; all the senators have email forms on their Web sites, where you can email them directly.
Hopefully anyone reading my blog already knows who their senators are, but just in case you don't, you can go to http://senate.gov and look up the senators for your state. For those of you who live in Washington State:
Maria Cantwell
Patty Murray
Both of our senators are currently waffling publicly on this issue. Email them NOW and encourage them to do the right thing and support the Snowe-Dorgan bill. It will only take a few minutes of your time - and it's time you'll wish you had spent if the Snowe-Dorgan bill does not pass.
Remember, the future of the Internet MATTERS. Act now!
Edited To Add: For those of you who still don't know why this is important, Josh Marshall sums up the issue nicely: "It changes what the Internet is and makes it into something more like Cable TV where the local cable company decides which channels are on the box." If that doesn't motivate you to email your senators ASAP, I don't know what will!
