  ... Folks,

  If you believe in an all-in approach, that is, if
  you believe that we need better technology AND more
  competition AND better law, today there will be
  a critical vote that YOU can influence.

  Yesterday, according to my inside-beltway
  sources at savetheinternet.com, the House Rules
  Committee voted to allow two attempts to add
  meaningful Network Neutrality rules the Barton-Rush
  COPE Act. One proposed amendment, by Representatives
  Markey, Boucher, Eschoo and Inslee, is, apparently,
  sufficiently strong. Another, by Lamar Smith,
  is much weaker.

  Please call your Representative today. Ask him/her
  to support the Markey Network Neutrality Amendment
  to the COPE Act.

  Find your Representative and his/her phone number at
  http://www.savetheinternet.com/callcongress.php
  Today is the critical day to call.

  David I
