Hey gang,
It's me David Thomas, again. I know it's been a while since I've been around... but I had something that I thought some people over here might be interested in. Sadly, this is only for residents of the United States -- and preferably ones who are active voters. I really wish everyone could be involved... but it's just not possible.
At least regarding what I am posting. I encourage any abroad Brokies to look into their own governing system and find out what they can do to help.
You see...
Right now Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the First Amendment of the Internet -- a principle called "network neutrality" that preserves the free and open Internet. Congress needs to hear from you today or they will hand over control of what you do online to companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
Politicians are trading favors for campaign donations from these companies. They're being wooed by people like AT&T's CEO, who says "the Internet can't be free."
So go to the link below to sign the petition -- your letter will be sent to your Sentators and Congresspersons.
http://action.freepress.net/campaign/savethenetI was informed about this through a FoxNews criticism website called
www.newshounds.us which is encouraging everyone to get five people to join the movement. I already e-mailed eight of my close friends... I thought I would let everyone know about it here, too.
All the best... and I miss using these cowboy emoticons so bad, so here we go...
A giant YEE-HAAAAAAW to all of my fellow Brokies!
