The Internet needs YOU!

There were a couple votes in the House of Representatives that were bad for Internet freedom (Net Neutrality). These votes would essentially give companies like AT&T and Verizon more control over what you see and do online.

If you value a free and open internet, please review the following votes.

Markey Net Neutrality Amendment (A vote for Internet freedom was "Aye"):

If your Representative is in the "Aye" list, call and thank him/her.
If he or she is in the "No" list, call and complain!

Bad overall COPE telecommunications bill without Markey Amendment that passed the House and gutted Net Neutrality (A vote for Internet freedom was "No"):
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll241.xml
If your Representative is in the "No" list, call and thank him/her.
If he or she is in the "Aye" list, call and complain!

---------------------------------------

In addtion, tell your Senators to protect Net Neutrality by supporting the bipartisan Snowe-Dorgan Internet Freedom Preservation Act (S. 2917).
