This is the message that “Americans for Tax Reform” - capwiz.com - is telling their web page viewers. It is also linked to be rightalk.com:
———————————————————————————–
Don’t let MoveOn.org, Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats regulate the Internet! MoveOn.org and the far left are pulling out all the stops to pass legislation that will regulate the Internet under a scheme known as “network neutrality.” The House of Representatives will vote any day now! This regulatory scheme would give big government the right to regulate the Internet, a reversal of the “hands off” approach that has allowed the Internet to flourish for more than a decade.
———————————————————————————-
Following is the message they suggest their web-page viewers send to their representatives in Congress:
——————————————————————————–
As your constituent and an Internet user, I strongly oppose any effort to regulate the Internet by imposing a so-called “network neutrality” scheme. The Internet has revolutionized the American economy because of the “hands off” approach to regulation. “Network neutrality” would reverse that course, stifling innovation and raising prices.
I strongly urge you to resist the efforts of MoveOn.org and their ultra-liberal allies to regulate the Internet and to oppose a so-called “network neutrality” mandate. The future of the Internet depends on government keeping its hands off!
