Al Franken; Important update on net neutrality
Edited on Fri Jan-28-11 12:13 PM by Playinghardball
Email from All Franken

Dear xxx,
When the FCC released its disappointing ruling on net neutrality, I promised that the fight wasn’t over.
I wanted you to know that I’m working with Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington to provide a legislative fix.
You can read more about the bill here. http://www.alfranken.com/page/m/6cf77db/7154be2e/32163160/78164443/4240693010/VEsH/

Remember, your support is critical to preserving the free and open Internet. When the FCC was deliberating its regulations, we made our voices heard, and although the final product wasn’t what we wanted, it was a lot better than the first draft.
We’ll need your support as we work to protect the Internet in the Senate, too. So please click HERE to learn more about what Sen. Cantwell and I are doing, and stay tuned for more on how you can help.

Thanks,

AL

1. I'm grateful Franken has taken this on with such vigor.
Cantwell as well. Franken, though has seen firsthand the implications of mega corporate takeover of the media.

2. He's a smart guy. Other than the internet and a few fringe channels...
we've lost our "free" press.
