A Faerie’s Farthing: Net Neutrality Vote Thursday

From a political blog I read regularly that puts it far better than I ever could. There is a brilliant quote from John Perry Barlow that I’m printing and hanging on my office wall. I hadn’t read it before but seriously, go check out the link and then CALL your congressman! Freedom of speech is something that is too good to give up without a fight.

Okay, people. We need to heed Christy’s words and light ‘em up. It looks like the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006 (COPE Act) is due for a vote in the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday. Christy has all the Senators’ contact info, as well as the great coverage of Misener and McCurry.

We all know what’s at stake here; I won’t bore you with any details. Suffice it to say if you want to continue enjoying the wild and wacky internets, you need to call. And get everybody else to call. If you need that extra incentive, Ted Stevens sits on this committee.

What you may not realize (I didn’t) is that America has been here before; this fight is nothing new.
