    Angry ACT NOW: Your FREE Internet is at Stake Here !!

    PLEASE Read this!!

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...060702108.html

    In essence what the big communication companies want to do is charge us for going from website to website, page by page!!



    For example, I pay Southwestern Bell a monthly fee for cable service but they in turn don't pay enough money to let's say AT & T which holds a % of the websites servers including Movie List.

    I try to access Movie List and what happens? I get an access forbidden message because my provider, Southwestern Bell did not pay A T & T a 'toll fee';

    therefore for me to access Movie List, I will have to pay a toll fee each and every time.

    Do y'all want the internet to become exclusively for the wealthy?

    The main reason the internet has become such a popular form of modern communication these past 10 years is because it's FREE!!

    Please read the article and then go to the link (for Save The Internet) provided within and click on

    ACT NOW!!

    This affects ALL OF US if it's passed !!

    Edit: Question, Do I need to be American to sign the petition?

    Thank you, odj_310388. Since this is so important, I will send info on this to people I know and I wanted to know this.

    What do you think this proposal can affect us in the rest of the world, if it succeeds?

    Yes, but on State/Province: only appear those from the United States, so what can I put on that field?

    I have the impression that the country option is for Americans living outside US
