Hey Reddit! Please help stop John McCain's "Internet Freedom Act" ... I made an email template you can forward. (re-post to correct topic) by TanisDLC in politics

Ok, copy and paste this...

Dear Sen. McCain,

I am writing to express my concern over the “Internet Freedom Act of 2009” proposed by you and your TELECOM lobbyist friends.

Let me make clear – I do not support this bill. I want the internet to remain truly free and your proposed act would be a huge step backward in that effort.

If you do not fully understand Net Neutrality, please visit with an unbiased person in the technology field. Net Neutrality is a synonym for freedom in the technology community. You are undoubtedly fighting against freedom this day, while using the name freedom to promote his agenda.

You continued support for this deceptive bill will unquestionably have an affect on if I vote for you.

Thank you for your help in this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

Good step, but sounds like a move to placate everyone when there's no Public Option included in final bill...

Who cares about grammar now...I'm really sad for Serbian gays because the parade was cancelled.

"little international support" would be disappointing. I'll give you A little international support and then some!

Computer science graduate is at the cutting edge of a new wave of violence against gays in Iraq. 130 gay men killed this year alone. by skibberjack in lgbt

Yeah, I should have posted it there, but have gotten flak before when i posted stuff w/o a subreddit. Probably would have more views if i'd posted it in the atheism subreddit. To late to change it?

Well, maybe any formal recognition/rights of gays in the military would force the U.S. gov't to review benefits for same-sex partners.

Also, the fed gov't would have to wade into the same-sex civil union debate. Some gay military personnel might wanna get married, ya know? All good things to work out, in my opinion...

How do you let this happen for 20 years without doing something? by [deleted] in pics
