US Senator Maria Cantwell

US Senator Maria Cantwell will be at the Clallam Democratic Headquarters, 150 S 5th Ave, at 3 pm, Saturday, June 17.

I urge all of you to attend and voice your concern about the future of the Internet. Legislation is currently being considered in the Senate that was passed by the House that will make the Internet much more like cable TV, much more commercial, and controlled much more by only a few companies for both content and capacity.
The current banner of the dispute is Net Neutrality. Civic organizations nationwide have been lobbying for net neutrality, only to have major telecoms control the debate and outcome.

A better motto is: Keep the Internet as a national resource, not a national revenue source.

Please take this last opportunity. Maria Cantwell could easily be a deciding voice.
