This seems like a topic all of us here should be concerned about.
Do you buy books online, use Google, or download to an iPod? Everything we
do online will be hurt if Congress passes a radical law in upcoming days
that gives giant corporations more control over what we do and see on the
Internet.
Internet providers like AT&T are lobbying Congress hard to gut Internet
freedom. They would allow AT&T to choose which websites open most easily
for you based on which site pays AT&T more. If this law passes, almost
every popular site--from Google to eBay to iTunes--must either pay
protection money to companies like AT&T or risk having their websites
process slowly. That why over 400,000 people have signed a petition
opposing Congress' effort to gut Internet freedom.
We can all do our part to save the Internet--can you sign this petition to
Congress? Click here:

This petiton will be delivered to Congress before the House of
Representatives votes in several days. When you sign, you'll be kept
informed of the next steps we can take to keep the heat on Congress.
If you want more information, here are two really good places to look.
