Default Take a Minute, Sign the petition for Net Neutrality

Mainly for US users.

https://secure.freepress.net/site/Ad...rAction&id=356

For those interested, here's a good FAQ on the topic: http://www.savetheinternet.com/faq


I'm aware a thread already exists on this topic. Didn't want this to be buried on page 2. This isn't the discussion of it, just offering people the chance to sign the petition.

Before you rush off and save the interwebs take a moment to view the petitions authors home website and judge for your self.

Just letting folks know that the petition is authored by a liberal activist group with an agenda.

Thought they might want to know that before they sign.

I thought it was about net neutrality. Does it matter who sponsored it?

So what is the person who sponsored it was black, or Chinese, or a woman, would that matter to you?

Uh Steamwake, everyone has an agenda... everyone

Would it make any difference if this was authored by a conservative activist group with an agenda?

Or a moderate activist group with an agenda?

Or the Pastafarian activist group with an agenda?

It is a BS online petition, who really cares who is behind it? It is not like it is going to accomplish anything.
