E Pluribus Unum

Please contact your Senators and urge them to support Net Neutrality and save the Internet.

Here's what to do:

1. Visit this site and find out where your Senators stand.
   
2. Call your Senators now AND after the election.
   • If they are for Net Neutrality, encourage them.
   • If they are undecided, urge them to vote NO on Senator Stevens' telecommunications bill (H.R. 5252 / S. 2686) unless real Net Neutrality language is added that prohibits network operators from discriminating against content and creating a tiered Internet.
   • If they are against Net Neutrality, urge them to change their position.
   
   
3. Pass this along to your friends.

Net Neutrality is the First Amendment of the Internet. Until August of 2005, it was established policy to allow everyone equal access to the information superhighway. Now, with the abandonment of that policy, private corporations are free to decide who gets access to the fast lane and who languishes in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Of course, they deny they'll do that, but unless it is written into the law, you know you can't trust them.

Let me give you an analogy that might be useful to consider:

Imagine you are craving a delicious In 'N' Out burger. So you get on the road and drive to the local In 'N' Out, only to find that the road is blocked off with a detour to McDonald's. It doesn't matter that you don't like McDonald's. The people who maintain the road made a deal with McDonald's and now that's all you can have.

That's what will happen to the Internet, unless we all insist that Congress support Net Neutrality.

Call your Senator now AND after the election. Don't let the lame ducks ruin the Internet forever. Call now before it is too late.
