Today Sept 10, 2014 you may find that a number of sites are "featuring" notices and links to "Battle for the Net".

Aside from being a US concern - as this question is currently in front of the FCC - these sites, and this organization are looking to swell the grass roots effort to maintain the internet as it currently exists - without a slow lane or corporate interference when you go out and retrieve websites.

If you are in the US please take the time to visit the effort; reach out to the FCC and your representatives. If we bring enough voices to this fight we can get the FCC to back away from the corporate interference like we did for SOPA.

    Neutrality, I could get behind. But Neutarlity? Sounds unhealthy.
