Every day, the 2.5
million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation,
disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes
risk displacement, torture and murder.
Congress
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
campaign.
The joint’s a scary place, so you better make friends fast. Right away, Nelson offends the wrong cons and is sold—by John—to Barry (CHI McBRIDE, The Nine, The Terminal, Undercover Brother) for prison snuggling. But the moment that revenge starts tasting sweet, Nelson becomes Big Man in the Big House and turns the tables on John…changing the rules of his insane game.
