Right now, a bunch of idiots in Congress are trying to break "Network Neutrality" and let telephone and communication companies control what you are allowed to see on the internet by increasing or decreasing the load time.

What this means is that, if this bill is passed, those companies can force it so only the websites they own or have invested in will load at normal speed, but any other site will be made to load extremely slower than dial up, thus making it nearly impossible to visit a site that isn't hosted by these companies.

In order to convince Congress to not pass this law, a foundation of many companies have formed together to create the Save The Internet foundation. In order to help this foundation out with preventing this bill from being passed, you can fill out a form on the site that you can send a letter to your state congressman and senators to convince them to vote against this law. I encourage you all to do this, for if this bill gets passed, the internet as we know right it will be lost, and replaced by ads.

please visit this site to fill out the letter, in which the site will automatically send the email to your senator or congressman:
