There is a hearing on Net Neutrality today by the Senate Commerce Committee.

The issue is whether the telecommunication companies can charge website owners new fees.

If you have a Senator on the above list, please ask him-or-her to support Net Neutrality (no new fees.)

I just sent the following to one of my Senators. You are welcome to use my words.

============================================
Please support Senator John Kerry in favor of Net Neutrality.

Website owners should NOT have to pay new fees to every company which owns part of the internet to guarantee our webpages load quickly.

It's like when we pay for telephone service, we just have to pay one company, not every company which owns part of the telephone infrastructure.

Again, please support Net Neutrality.
============================================

If you're writing a Republican, then you might want to drop the reference to Senator John Kerry.

3. You're welcome.

For Senators who already support it, one can write "Thank you for supporting Net Neutrality."

It's still good to let them know we care about the issue.

4. What is this, the 4th time it has come up?

How many times do we have to fight this?

It is dreadfully apparent to me that they will push this through no matter what...it is not a question of "if", it is "when". They have been putting this issue on the table over and over again for four years, now.

They are pushing this now because they know we are distracted by the election.
