Stop the Hostile Takeover of the Internet
I received this email the other day from political education and advocacy site, Moveon.org, and I shuddered. For the first time in human history, most people who want to develop a large audience to promote a particular point of view can publish and communicate worldwide.
So, this law would keep the role of corporate media of what I consider to be a consciousness poison called propaganda. As we can communicate, we have the power to change the world around us to be a positive existence instead of the class locked power struggle that is current reality.
Encourage a free and fair internet and encourage human progress. Send the letter below.

From Moveon.org:
Congress is now pushing through a law that would give control of the Internet to giant companies who want to charge big bucks for things that are currently free or low-cost—everything from posting a webpage to being able to use audio, video, and photos online.
This would ruin the Internet for nearly everyone: nonprofits, online activists, Google users, ipod listeners, small businesses, economic innovators, and others.
Politicians don't think we are paying attention to this issue. Many of them take campaign checks from big telecom companies and are on the verge of letting companies like AT&T and Verizon destroy the Internet for the little guy.
We need to act now. Can you sign this petition to your member of Congress asking him or her not to ruin the Internet?
