I've had a lot of people say to me lately, "I'm hearing more and more about net neutrality, but I don't really understand what any of it means."

Here it is: Net neutrality is Internet freedom. It is a guiding principle that has kept the Internet open and accessible to everyone since the Internet's inception. And it's in jeopardy.

Net neutrality has always governed the Internet, but it's going to go away later this summer unless Congress acts to protect it.  (For a good explanation of the history, please read Harold Feld's blog.)

This is a critical time. Tell Congress to support strong net neutrality provisions to the telecom reform bill they will consider later this week.

There's a lot of good information out there if you want to read up on this issue. But the most important thing to do is to act. Call or email your Congressman today.
