here's the deal, straight from our friends at moveon.org :

Do you buy booksonline, use Google, or download to an Ipod? These activities, plusMoveOn's online organizing ability, will be hurt if Congress passes aradical law that gives giant corporations more control over theInternet.

Internet providers like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congresshard to gut Network Neutrality, the Internet's First Amendment. NetNeutrality prevents AT&T from choosing which websites open mosteasily for you based on which site pays AT&T more. Amazon doesn'thave to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to work more properlyon your computer.

If Net Neutrality is gutted, MoveOn either pays protection money todominant Internet providers or risks that online activism tools don'twork for members. Amazon and Google either pay protection money or riskthat their websites process slowly on your computer.

this is a really important issue that concerns all of us who value our web-surfing rights. please take some time to read over this information & take action. sending an email to your state rep is a very effective way to fight back at this & takes less than ten minutes!
