6 days left to Save the Internet! Post Your video & Send the FCC a message!

We have only five days left to defend a free and open Internet at the FCC.

The agency needs to hear from you about Net Neutrality -- the principle that stops

AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from controlling where you can go online.

Thousands of people have already told their stories (see below) urging the FCC to protect Net Neutrality.

Now it's your turn: http://action.freepress.net/ct/FpwoYQd1sBym/">Tell the FCC to Save the Internet

You need to act now before the FCC closes its comment period.

If we flood them with comments in support of Net Neutrality, the FCC will be pressed to stand up
to the giant phone and cable companies that seek to undermine free choice on the Web.

At SavetheInternet.com, you can read stories from others, view photographs, and join
the fight to make the Internet affordable, open and accessible to everyone.

You can even create your own personal comment page to share with others.

Go there now to see our new video: (Also posted in Political Video's on DU)

This may be the best chance we have this year to demonstrate to Washington that
protecting the free and open Internet is an issue that matters to millions of Americans.

The FCC needs to know why Net Neutrality is important to you.

Tell them how an open Internet impacts your daily life, your business

and your ability to connect with others.

To save the Internet, we need to flood the FCC with stories from people around the country.

Can you ask five friends to send their stories to the FCC?

With your help, we can send a message to the FCC that they can't ignore.

Onward,

Timothy Karr

P.S. Here's what others are saying:

"The greatest hope that this country has is the reconnection of American voices with our political system.
The Internet is the first medium that is truly interactive, in which one person's voice can reach millions.
This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it."

"In rural America, the Internet is very important in staying informed. We read several
national newspapers every day to get the news our local paper does not thoroughly cover."

"Currently the media is not diverse at all, and the only option I have found to escape from it has been the Internet.
... If the Internet is controlled by powerful people with money, will it ever be what it has been?
Will we be able to enjoy diversity?"

5. I can't send anything in your name!!

Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 09:52 PM by Breeze54

:rofl:

But at least send a message! It doesn't have to be long!
Mine wasn't and I didn't post a pic either. :P

A lot of people wrote books but I just sent them a short and sweet message...again! :P

Like this guy! ;)

"It�s definitely an important issue. Personally, I don�t feel
that any one person should have the power to control something
that is so important to everybody."

Or this one...

"I am a senior on a very limited, fixed income. I also am partially disabled.
Without free access to the internet I would not be able to afford the cost
of a charge-as-you-go internet. The internet is my connection to the real
world and the people I love."

Or this!

"Stop greedy corporations from looting this country while they run
it as a financial dictatorship. Don�t let the internet become just
another source of income for the super wealthy. The Internet isn�t
owned by anybody, it belongs to everyone!"

Thanks for kicking this up! ;)
