That's right, soon, if this bill gets passed, there will be NO free internet sites, it will be impossible, or extremely slow. Your favorite site, www.Putfile.com will not be able to sustain itself! Spread the word!! The bill is currently passing through the House of Representatives, the Senate HAS ALREADY PASSED it, luckily my state votes for net neutrality. The representatives in the house have 2 year terms, and statistics show they spend 1/4 of their time trying to please constituents, if we stir up enough support THIS BILL SHALL NOT BE PASSED. This is a multi million dollar lobbying effort by the big corporations, that's right, the corporations are taking away your beloved internet!

Spread the word, to every forum, every site, you can think of, particularly open source, free, projects, free download sites (like www.putfile.com!) (those places will have a lot of support, large member counts, and will not be able to sustain themselves if this law is passed!

WTF!?
The internet is global, it should not be run by any single government, much less the worst in the world.

Yay! Brown (my rep) voted for neutrality!



WTF!? WHO VOTED AGAINST NEUTRALITY!?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but online petitions never work. Those sites only exist because thousands of fools sign the petitions, and the website gets 1 cent per entry. No legal matter such as this would become true unless written up by a senator and submitted to the Executive Branch itself.

It might, seeing how politicians get whatever they want....... :evil:

If you look and see Gray Davis got to lay off workers from their jobs, and other politcians got to do other things such as that.

Okay, serousily. The internet is in danger because of moronic politicians who think they have the right to take away freedom. If we don't do something, the internet will be owned by the government.

This will not work for many reasons, but one main one is:

No one owns the internet.

There is a bunch of stupid things on the internet, thats the internets only flaw. It can be resourceful and not resourceful. And i believe that this is false, it would have been on the news or on a news webpage or something.
So, I will not worry about this.

Now, if you want to worry about something worry about "Internet 2" This internet will be fine.

not literaly owned, more like own3d, they will pwn it with their new bill to allow companies like AT$T to charge you extra to visit sites that aren't theirs, and to slow down those sites.
