More Info on Net Neutrality

The SavetheInternet.com Coalition is a group of grassroots organizations, bloggers and concerned citizens that are banding together to protect Internet freedom. I added a graphic to the sidebar today with the  coalition's logo. If you click on it, it will take you to their resource site where you can learn more about keeping the internet free. Get your own copy of the savetheinternet banner (in several choices of size, etc) here.

I encourage everyone to read up on this issue and do everything you can to stop telephone and cable companies controlling what you do, where you go, and what you watch online. Email and call your representative in Congress and let them know where you stand! Here are some links from MoveOn.org to get started:
