Posted on Saturday, April 15, 2006 - 11:30 am:        The House Subcommittee on Telecommunications rejected an amendment to a telecommunications overhaul bill that would have strengthened provisions for net neutrality. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 28 to 8. The six Democrats who voted against it were Eliot Engel, Bart Stupak, Ed Towns, Al Wynn, Charlie Gonzales and Bobby Rush. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/webreturn/?url=http://energycommerce.house.g ov Unless you believe in corporate censorship (which exists but this legislation would make it the basis for internet access), PLEASE write your Senators and Representative indicating you DO CARE about 'net neutrality'. A comment from Friday's DemocracyNow interview with Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy was "Congress is not hearing from the public that they are concerned about open internet, which we have to use the term network neutrality for now." http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/13/146201 (part 1) http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/14/147241 (part 2) Center for Dgital Democracy http://www.democraticmedia.org/issues/netneutrality.html Rep.
