Copy of mail from John Edwards:


When MoveOn and The Christian Coalition agree about something, it's a
good bet they're right. Groups as wide-ranging as Gun Owners of America
on one side and U.S. PIRG and the One America Committee on the other are
fighting to keep the Internet the way it is now - free and open to
anyone with access to a computer.

Today, everyone in the world can communicate through the Internet on an
equal basis. A small-time programmer like Pierre Omidyar can start an
auction site out of his home office and turn it into eBay. A blogger
like Josh Marshall can post his opinions on Talking Points Memo and end
up attracting more readers than the country's biggest newspapers.

On the Internet, big corporations are on equal footing with everyday
people. And it needs to stay that way.

Right now, special interests are pushing bills through Congress that
would divide the Internet in two. Corporate deals would determine which
web sites would run incredibly fast and which ones would barely run at
all. Some users might not be able to access sites operated by regular
people.

I don't want Internet service providers to decide which web sites I can
look at. And I know you don't either.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote on "Net Neutrality" on
June 8th. Please help keep the Internet free and open to everyone by
signing this petition to Congress.

The commercialization of the Web is probably easier to achieve
for now than outright censorship of it.
