Did you even know the internets were in trouble? George Bush doesn't, but if you're reading this blog, the system must be important to you.
The Federal Communications Commission is taking comments on the issue of "net neutrality" -- the technical arrangements that make the internet a level playing field for all users. But the last day to comment is Monday, July 16.
A coalition called Save the Internet is collecting comments and personal stories from citizens who want to preserve the democratic nature of the internet.
Telecommunications policy sounds very wonkish for a lot of people but the Save the Internet site has a lot of information explaining the issue. And you can make a difference. The grassroots raised such an uproar over a GOP plan to increase consolidation in the broadcasting industry a few years back that the plan was dropped.
Visit Save the Internet today and add your story. Help make Friday the 13th a very unlucky day for telecommunications lobbyists!
