Let down the blue text and show your POV

in a less "IN YOUR FACE!!!" way please.

I agree with you a 100%(And more)

But your post is ...WTF

OK.I wont give you a course in PR but

Tame it down.

aggressive? :shrug:

You're kidding, right? :rofl:

Thanks for replying. ;)

I agree with you a 100%!

I did this last week and 90 other people in my district alone spoke their piece as well.

Thanks for all you've done and do and thank you for sharing your letter! :)

Just beautiful and I'd really like to talk to you sometime.

I said I agreed a 100% with ALL that was said!

Then...I have to say that I truly don't understand

your hysterical attack against me,really.

I am Against ANNY FUCKING CENSORSHIP of the net!!!

The NET is the last resort of the people against GLOBAL FASCISM!!!

I think we're on the same side and this is a misunderstanding.

I hope whe...Nah,I'm sure that we will...

Please PM me.We have more in common than this...

I don't like conflicts especially when we think the same way.

Please PM me if you want to clear this up(Forgive my bad English,

I'm French-Canadian)...

Really? Because I could have sworn the first post, out of the gate, was... "FUCKING CENSORSHIP" !!!

:eyes:

I Didnt know...Well how many posts does it thake to receive PM?

I signed it. I really had no choice.

A lot of the revolutionaries were rowdy and democracy ain't pretty. I don't think Washington really was one of them in spirit. He seemed more like a pompous incredible priss. Still he prevented us from collapsing into an American Monarchy by stepping down after one term. So in that way I applaud his measured idealism.

Now the Boston crowd was great! So were Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin for that matter.

Connecting the past to now though- during the revolution we did have a whole mess of pamphleteers and papers floating about with small presses putting their ideas all over the place. Bar this or limit it and the exchange of ideas and culture needed for the American revolution would still be wanting and we would likely still be enjoying tea and crumpets.

The internet is sometimes like this. But religious nannies, high horsed pundits, and upper media television snob-scum have been trying to pooh pooh the party for years now. That is when they weren't trying to carve bits of it up to sell in real estate on wallstreet or hype its sexy words to hawk absurd books on how two dimensional they believe the world is.

I agree with the sentiment of your counter to Jeff's post, even if the original posters massive blocks of blistering bright blue bold text blasted my eyes out.

Don't beat up so much on Jeff

The worst thing is that I agree a 100% with the OP

but what I'm saying is just :The way you're saying it is

Not (Gee) a good way of saying it.In other words my comments

were just a suggestion for better PR!

No attack on the message at all!

We need all kinds of viewpoints in here, even if we don't always agree...

The color blue isn't 'burning' or 'blasting' my eyes at all. ;)

But that isn't the point of the post anyway.

If you don't like the color, then click the link and go to the main website.

Simple.



You made some good points, otherwise.

the post is right on the money and blue is my color. Would you have preferred red perhaps.

:yourock:

IMPORTANT ISSUE!

That's a start!

I just moved to Kenmore WA and my district also had 90 stories, this is why I ask. I was just wondering as I am always on the look out for DU friends. I have found some wonderful friends here. If you are close by, do you attend the Lake Forest Park roadside anti-war sign thingy? I just moved here and would like to participate, but do not know when it is or who to talk to about going. Before my grand-niece came to me, I was also part of the Friday Might Meaningful Movies in Wallingford, which is at the church I attend. My representative is also an old school mate, we went to the same high school (Jay Enslee).

Sorry to get off topic, but I also thought this message to you would kick it up anyways. :P

For those who don't have a photo or don't want to have their identity on the internet, there is a tool on Common Cause's website to use to easily send a message to the FCC: http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=189958 , SEE under "Media and Democracy, Keep the Internet Open to All: Protect Net Neutrality!" I just sent a message using it and got an email response that says they are trying to send 25,000 messages before June 15th, so hope everyone will use one or the other of these tools. It does make a difference.

I love Common Cause too but as you said, June 15th was their deadline.

My OP reflects a CURRENT and URGENT message drive.

Please respond there!!!

"It does make a difference." Ummm... yes, it does.

sign on for those who are camera phobes or don't want their names/locations posted on the internet? I didn't see any way to do that.

Is sending my address necessary, too?

Anyway, here's what I've drafted up... I have yet to send it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Congress must preserve a free and open Internet.

The principle of Network Neutrality has already proven its significant value in growing the vast economic and cultural vitality of the Internet over the last decade. Take that principle out of play, and the Internet -- and all of its ongoing entrepreneurial potential -- will dwindle until it becomes just another pop culture vending machine. The economic impact of such a change would be enormous, and negative, throughout the country.

Please act immediately to save the Internet from being gutted in this manner. The spirit of our nation’s free-market is at stake on this online frontier. Please vote for enforceable network neutrality and keep tollbooths, gatekeepers, and discrimination off the Internet so that it may continue to be an affordable, accessible, and powerful resource for every business big and small, every school and church, and indeed every American.

Many thanks to Cookie wookie for the link to Common Cause. I signed a couple of other petitions and letters to my reps there too. Sure makes it easy!!

If not, please do or start your own topic.

You're Welcome.

We need to start a pledge in DU, telling the big telecommunications companies that if they attempt to stifle full net freedom, we will cancel not only our broadband subscriptions, but our cable TV subscriptions as well (assuming they are with the same company, i.e. Comcast). Either way, we must be willing to make these kinds of sacrifices.

;)

I refuse to give Murdock or any of those companies big bucks to spy on me.
