net neutrality is dieing

A dark time is coming, net neutrality has been mortally wounded. As many of you are well aware the internet is the last and greatest bastion of free speech and now voices can be snuffed out by corporate will. I beg of everyone who reads this message do whatever you can, if you are a United States citizen then write, write to congressmen, write to house representatives, tell them of the threat to freedom of speech, to freedom of information, and most of all write to President Obama, remind him of his campaign promise to protect net neutrality. Tell him how he has let down the American people by allowing this to happen.  Those of you not within the U.S. or who feel they can do more please act at your discretion. Do whatever you can to protect that which we all hold precious.

Information is free
we do not forgive
we do not forget
expect us

I respectfully counter, without net neutrallity an internet service provider can cut bandwidth to any site they choose to the point where it is effectivly shut down, this opens the door for bribes. Corperations, polititions, any entity with enough money could pay off service providers to essentially shut down any site that allows people to speak in the entities opposition or make available information reveiling dishonest or illegal activities. The bribe itself would probably be illegal but it is an easy enough thing to hide and they (the service provider) would not need to provide a reason for their actions against such websites.
