Bipartisan Majority Supports Internet Freedom in the House

Will miracles never cease?

Congress is listening to the people for a change.

That is not to say that we don't have to keep an eagle eye on this; much money is invloved for the corporations. We all know what that means.

This ain't over, by a long shot.

Growing Momentum for SavetheInternet.com Coalition as Net Neutrality Scores a Victory in Washington


WASHINGTON -- The broad, nonpartisan movement for Internet freedom notched a major victory today, when a bipartisan majority of the House Judiciary Committee passed the 'Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006' -- a bill that offers meaningful protections for Network Neutrality, 'the First Amendment of the Internet.'

'Today's vote would have been unthinkable three weeks ago,' said Josh Silver, executive director of Free Press, the nonpartisan media reform group that coordinates the SavetheInternet.com Coalition. 'It shows that the politicians are listening to the vast number of citizens who don't want the Internet to become the private domain of the cable and telephone monopolies. Today's vote is a milestone for the fast-growing movement to protect the public interest and defend Internet freedom.'"
