    Let Congress take no ground on any piece of legislation that would allow this freedom to be compromised.
  • pilobilus, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Please help spread the page far and fast.
  • DigitalDelivery, on 06/22/2008, -0/+2WTF?! This needs to stop! Spread this link, take action.
  • Adam420, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3The government could not get away with this ever.
    We would rise up against this, no way they could take this away from us.
    If they did, that would be really ***** up of them.
  • eHobayyeb, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1I didn't understand well, but shared to all my friends!
  • minhajali, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1well this is fun i have to make it popular
  • SBettingReview, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1This is important - thx for sharing it!

    Let's hope the message gets through..
  • jpwonderful, on 06/24/2008, -0/+0Very important post and I'm glad to see Google doing it - but I'm a little disappointed they didn't post any links for further reading on the issue. Anyone have good links I should check out? And yes... I'm off to Google it right now.
  • jpwonderful, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2Ok... just to clarify Google's instructions, because I had to think on my toes a little (never called a representative before).

    1. Call the number they give: 202-224-3121
    2. Ask to speak to your representative. The operator will ask you for your zip code if you don't know who it is.
    3. When you get to the next human, tell them something to the effect that you support Net Neutrality and want your rep to "vote a for free and open internet."
    3b. (optional) :: Insert crazy rant here.
    4. You get ticked down on the great board and (if the person is nice) they will thank you for calling to voice your opinion.

    Just so you know what you're getting into :)
