DemocRATS and other libs could pressure providers to block access to sites they do not like. They will do anything to block Conservative blogs and Conservative grassroot organizations.

The letter is in response to recent efforts by liberal groups such as MoveOn.org and SavetheInternet.com who promote the idea that active government interference is necessary to 'save' the Internet. The free-market movement believes the Internet is the modern frontier of innovation and economic development, and should remain free from regulation.

To view the letter in entirety, please visit http://www.freedomworks.org

"It is a fact we all know too well: Once government is free to dictate price, content and speed for the Internet, Congress will find a way to tax products, services and require providers to collect government mandated fees just for using the 'privilege' of using technology. While supporters of Net-Neutrality legislation argue their position with no basis of fact -– a solution in search of a problem –- history has taught us well that when the government attempts to regulate commerce, it is the consumer who ultimately pays."

Hogwash. This is not a liberal vs conservative issue. This is a freedom vs communism issue.

The Gun Owners of America (GOA), Instapundit, Right Wing News, Right Wing Nuthouse, and many other conservative groups are on the side of network neutrality.

Why?

Because the telco lobbyists have papered Washington with enough money to destroy the current state of net neutrality. Will you be able to visit the NRA website if they haven't paid AT&T an added "prioritization" tax and the Brady Group has? Will you be able to search on Google if Yahoo pays off AT&T?

Do the research here, then go to SaveTheInternet.com now and take action.
