Update [2006-4-26 16:25:40 by mcjoan]: The Committee just rejected the Markey amendment to preserve net neutrality, 22-34. Democrats Rush, Green and Gonzales all voted no. Since we couldn't squash this telcom give-away in the House, next we'll focus on the Senate. We did manage to flip quite a few Democrats, however, so that's the good news, that and the Senate looks to be friendlier to us on this issue.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is in final mark-up of the COPE Act, that AT&T/Verizon/Comcast legislation that will give you about as much unfettered access to the Web as you have choice in cable providers.
Here are four representatives on the Energy and Commerce Committee that can be convinced to vote with us if we apply some pressure. If you live in the following districts, please call them. (Here's a full list of Representatives on the Energy and Commerce Committee, for the rest of us.)
When you call your Representative, here's what to tell them: "Please protect internet freedom from corporate interests by voting for Ed Markey's amendment on network neutrality."
