Let's Make Net Neutrality the Law in 2007!

About Me


Take Action - Save the Internet
Last year, more than 1.5 million Americans spoke out to stop the big phone and cable companies from killing Net Neutrality in Congress. In 2007, Congress and the FCC will decide the future of the Internet.
Petition Congress or tell your story to the FCC about the importance of a free and open Internet to permanently protect Net Neutrality.
The SavetheInternet.com Coalition is more than 1.5 million everyday people who have banded together with thousands of non-profit organizations, businesses and bloggers to protect Internet freedom. The Coalition believes that the Internet is a crucial engine for economic growth and free speech. Some of the people involved include Vint Cerf (known as the 'father of the internet'), Moveon.org, Larry Lessig, Gun Owner's of America, Ask a Ninja, and many more.
This brief video gives a good summary explanation of Net Neutrality:
