is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment
-- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies
like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast
from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what
site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our
elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying
