Save the Internet for Bloggers

We need to be an advocate for free speech on the Internet. Because, there is a movement among many in business and government to limit free speech. The number of motivations are too numerous to count. Some are political in nature where liberals want to shut up conservatives, businesses want to shut up angry consumers, and governments want to control the flow of information.

Bloggers are critical in the free flow of information. This is the reason I support a movement to save the Internet. The Coalition that has been assembled to spearhead this movement is an uneasy group to say the least. Even though I do not agree with the overall make up of this Coalition, the overall goal of this gathering is worthwhile.

The SavetheInternet.com Coalition is more than a million everyday people who have banded together with thousands of non-profit organizations, businesses and bloggers to protect Internet freedom.

The Coalition believes that the Internet is a crucial engine for economic growth and free speech. We are working together to urge Congress to preserve Network Neutrality, the First Amendment of the Internet, which ensures that the Internet remains open to new ideas, innovation and progress.

From its beginnings, the Internet has leveled the playing field for all. Everyday people can have their voices heard by thousands, even millions of people.

The SavetheInternet.com Coalition -- representing millions of Americans from all walks of life -- is working together to ensure that Congress passes no telecommunications legislation without meaningful and enforceable Network Neutrality protections.
