Save Net Neutrality

- Mission:
- Preserve net neutrality by targeting politicians who are critical to advancing or curbing legislation

- Description:
- Network Neutrality — or "Net Neutrality" for short — is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet. Put simply, Net Neutrality means no discrimination. Net Neutrality prevents Internet providers from speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its source, ownership or destination. Last year, more than a million concerned citizens wrote and called Congress opposing any bill that didn't protect Net Neutrality and thwarted a $175 million campaign by the phone and cable companies. Now for round two. Let's keep up the pressure!

In this age we need to network all networks to create an accurate realtime mirroring of what is going on on our planet. Only then can we rush in to heal that which is threatened - TOGETHER !
OUR Internet is at the core of our emerging global communications network - its a TWO-WAY-FREE network - the rarest !
I pledge to stand with all of you wonderful people who have commented here - and those who are silent but agree with the comments.
These are the highest stakes that goodness has fought to save and preserve !

.... Just Walk On Them ....
The New Age has come...
One by one the one's who are Called,
unknown to themselves,
think and work and speak and act
in complementary patterns ....
Thread by thread upon the Loom is threaded.
Weaves into the silent strength that gathers.
Unseen millions join.
Gentle links, subtle links,
forging gentle souls together.
Selves transformed -
Together... and in isolation.
Deep and firm these roots take root.
Reaching for God, for each other -
to give and take and share and grow ....
To flow into a Wholesomeness
where memories of baser times just fade...
Come, ye Repairers of the Breach -
Restore the Paths long forgotten -
.... just walk on them ....

The Threat is RealHow does this threat to Internet freedom affect you? Such corporate control of the Web would reduce your choices and stifle the spread of innovative and independent ideas that we've come to expect online. It would throw the digital revolution into reverse. Internet gatekeepers are already discriminating against Web sites and services they don't like. The threat of "control" over our free-net is much more important than most people can imagine. We must not let it happen.

It is critical that we uphold "Net Neutrality" so that no nation, government or entity is able to control the right to freedom of speech and the Internet in general.
In a world polarized and teeming with state sponsored propaganda and the centralization of power in mega media corporations it is critical that the Internet be kept open for critical thought and dissent. If we create a world where no-one is able to question the "official story" we have a utilitarian society where the worst that man can conjure will be a reality.
I do fear however that the Internet will be censored in the case of widespread disobedience in the United States as we have seen in other countries such as Pakistan and Burma. The current solution for the United States government is to spy on it's citizens and data mine the web and all communications networks in order to flag potential threats.
The Internet is here now and we need to build networks of individuals willing to protect it from the demise of dictators and tyrants. It may not always be this way so we have to collect and archive as much information as possible in the case the lights are turned off!
