I just started this blog today but already the "real world" needs our help. As an official "blogger" now, I must spread the word about a Congressional effort to destroy what has become known as "Net Neutrality." Basically, gigantic telecom companies like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress to change the internet so that they can control the information we receive by determining which sites will load easily on our computers (the sites that can pay them obscene amounts of money, to be specific).

to find out more, sign Moveon's petition (and if you don't think much of them, the Christian Coalition is co-sponsoring!)
civic.moveon.org/save_the_internet
and please call your Congressional representative! If you don't know who that is, you can find your representative's name here:

I'll do a reading about this in another post...
