With Congress in its August recess, I haven’t written a word about telecom reform legislation or net neutrality in weeks and weeks. That’s ending now as the Senate heads back to Washington, particularly given that net neutrality advocates are taking advantage of the end-of-recess to lobby for their cause.
Tim Karr has a round-up of nationwide grassroots efforts that kicked off yesterday and continue today. SaveTheInternet.com has organized events in 25 cities, with supporters mostly handing over signed petitions pressing the Senate to incorporate net neutrality provisions in its pending telecom reform bill.
He’s got videos of various Senators, some of which appeared on local news stations, endorsing net neutrality. Rallies are planned for today in Montpelier, Wilmington, Orlando, Honolulu, Louisville, Columbus, Providence, Madison, Spokane and Charleston.
