  • From its beginnings, the Internet has leveled the playing field for all comers. Everyday people can have their voices heard by millions of people.

  • "Net Neutrality" is technical concept that has protects this essential online freedom. It's essentially the First Amendment for the Internet -- allowing Web users to go where they want and do what they please online. Net Neutrality is why the Internet has become a revolutionary force for democracy, economic innovation and new ideas.

  • Large cable and telephone are spending tens of millions of dollars to pressure Congress to pass a bill sponsored by Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, which kills Net Neutrality and allows the companies to control which Web sites get priority over everything else and which ones are left behind.

  • In the last six months, a grass-roots army of Americans of every political stripe has banded together to stop these massive phone and cable companies from ramming through Stevens' predatory legislation. More than 1,000,000 Americans have joined the SavetheInternet.com Coalition and written their representatives in Washington asking them to require all Web sites be treated equally.

  • Now, as the 109th Congress comes to a close it's incumbent upon Congress to heed the will of the public. Congress cannot pass telecommunications legislation without enforceable Net Neutrality protections.

  • As Congress enters its "lame duck" session in November and December, all Americans need to urge our members of Congress to support Net Neutrality. Anyone who cares about preserving Internet freedom should fight for it today.
