The House Judiciary Committee is beginning to “mark up” a good Net Neutrality bill at around 11am (EST) this morning. Then they’re going to vote on whether to bring it to the full floor. Many in the Committee are being pressured by AT&T, Verizon and other major telcos to vote down the net neutrality provisions in this bipartisan bill.
Below are the members who need to hear from you to support this important bill. *Urge them to support the Sensenbrenner-Conyers “Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006″ (HR 5417) in the Judiciary Committee — and to support it without amendment.* (Saying “without amendment” is key as the telcos want to re-write it in a way that guts Internet freedom).
Please pick up the phone and make a brief phone call. You can say:
bq. I’m an Internet user, and I’m concerned about the threats to the internet that are being pushed by telco’s. I believe in network neutrality for me, for my friends, and for my company, and think that you should vote for the “Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006″ (HR 5417) *without amendment*. This bill is essential to ensure that I can continue to freely use the Internet both personally as a consumer, and for my business as well.
