Stand up to Verizon and Comcast!

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

Verizon and Comcast want to turn the Internet into a giant pay-to-play scheme. This could mean that some of your favorite websites will be relegated to the "slow lane," making them much harder to access. Can you help stop this scheme by sharing why the Internet is an important part of your life?

Why is this important?

I have personally reinvented myself in order to provide for my children while staying at home with them while they're young. I would not have been able to do so without the Internet. I have prospected, I have connected with people around the world. I have personally launched a campaign to find my missing sister of 33 years. I have been contacted by people worldwide to sell goods based on my Internet reputation, built from the ground up. I have appeared on Food Network's Chopped, likely as a result of a well-timed email and a personal blog I created. All of this is very important to me. What ever happened to the breakup of Ma Bell? If we don't learn from the past, we're doomed to repeat it. Please come to your senses. History will replay itself if you let this happen. Share this. Get the word out. Make sure people know what may happen to the internet - as a result of inaction from people like you - and me! Thank you for your support!
