IMPORTANT Petition Keep Internet Access open to all
Tell Congress Not to Side with Corporate Interests on Internet Neutrality
Petition Targets: House of Representatives; Senate
Sites like alipac could become inaccessible. This is an important petition to sign so that we can continue to have open and free communication.
Internet neutrality is the idea that the Internet should be a free and open network. But large media companies have been jockeying for more control over it and recently, they experienced a small, but alarming victory.
A Congressional panel voted to make it easier for phone and cable companies to block or slow your access to sites and services on the Web.
Now, the issue goes before Congress and if they pass this legislation, it would be like opening Pandora’s box. Once phone and cable companies are granted the legal ability to block or inhibit your access to the Web and its services, access to information becomes monopolized, making it near impossible for bloggers, start-ups, and every day people to create new content or access it.
