Network Neutrality in danger
Congress is pushing a law that would abandon Network Neutrality, the Internet’s First Amendment. Network neutrality prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you — based on what site pays them the most. Your local library shouldn’t have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to have its Web site open quickly on your computer.
Net Neutrality allows everyone to compete on a level playing field and is the reason that the Internet is a force for economic innovation, civic participation and free speech. If the public doesn’t speak up now, Congress will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by telephone and cable companies that want to decide what you do, where you go, and what you watch online.

Yeah, I meant to mention this the other day. That is absolute BS.
Ok - I signed the petition. I don't know if the People can speak louder than all the money the special interest groups throw at the Politicians. In fact, I think the only reason this is coming up is because of the major companies that want to make more money. The more I learn about how our Government works the less I wish I knew...
Torp- DO post on it! This needs to get out to everyone.
Stan- I've become rather impressed at what grass roots groups have managed over the last several years, particularly due to the internet!
