According to The Save the Internet folks:

Sen. Byron Dorgan says he introduced the bipartisan “Net Neutrality Act” (S. 215) to protect the Internet’s promise to foster the “ultimate in democracy” and to stop the online market grab by large phone and cable companies seeking to impose new tolls on the Web.

Watch the video, right. The gravel road represents the crappy information highway faced by small businesses and entrepreneurs should network neutrality be abolished...

Here!, Senator Byron Dorgan (D, SD) and Senator Olympia Snow (R, ME)! Net Neutrality is the way the Internet came into being, and the only reasonable way forward. Time-Warner Cable, AT&T (in spite of their now required lip-service because of an AntiTrust agreement to purchase Bell-South), and others in opposition be damned! If they keep fighting the inevitable fact of Net Neutrality, we can all as a nation "vote with our feet" and our purses! Long live the Internet as it was, is, and always shall be -- FREE; or to employ the state motto of New Hampshire: "Live Free Or Die!" Call or write ALL of your US Congressional representatives and INSIST on the preservation of a FREE INTERNET NOW AND FOREVER!!!
