The Senate is due to vote Wednesday on the Net Neutrality bill.
Click here and CALL. YOUR. SENATOR.
Otherwise, when AT&T is deciding which content streams fastest to your computer, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.

Save the Internet:

The Senate Commerce Committee “mark-up” on Senator Stevens’ massive Telecommunications Act has dragged through Tuesday without discussion of the Snowe-Dorgan Net Neutrality amendment. A vote on this is now likely to occur on Wednesday.

This vote is critical. If your senator sits on the committee, he/she needs to hear from you today. Ask him/her to vote in committee to support the Snowe-Dorgan Net Neutrality amendment to the larger Telecom Act (S. 2686).

Here are the members of the committee who have not taken a strong position in favor of Internet freedom and for the Snowe-Dorgan Amendment. Call them now:

“Authority” will never stop trying to gain control over the Internet. It’s critical for us, the people, to ensure that “authority” NEVER finds a way to do it.

Once “authority” has control of your access to information, YOU HAVE LOST.
