Last Chance to Save the Net?

Please call your representative and tell them to vote "no" on the COPE telecommunications law if it doesn't include Rep. Ed Markey's Net Neutrality Amendment. Although this bill is probably full of all kinds of other evil, the legislation that will kill net neutrality has been tacked on to the bill (fancy that) and they will vote on it in the House today or tomorrow. Markey's ammendment would strip off the part that would screw the future of the net.
