I just called both Sen. Domenici and Sen. Bingaman's office to let register my opposition to Sen. Ted Steven's telecom bill which would create a tiered internet, and request that they vote no on S. 2686. The entire process took me 90 seconds max.
All I did was click on the link below and then select NM from the map and up popped my two senators and their respective phone numbers. According to "Save the Internet," both Domenici and Bingaman are undecided, and considering their records on a banking and oil and gas, I would definitely call both.
I'm waiting for the New Mexican, the Abq Journal and the rest of the state's Newspapers who have an online presence to realize they have a vested interest in making sure our Senators vote "no," considering that they'll be a primary target for higher fees since they're providers of rich content such as video and audio reports in addition to their written articles.
Click the link or just use the info from below. Either way, check out the site when you have the time; its a wealth of information. Save the Internet : Find out where your Senators stand:
Sen. Pete V. Domenici (R-NM)Undeclared on Net Neutrality Call Sen. Domenici now at 202-224-6621
Say: "I urge Senator Domenici to protect Net Neutrality, which prevents the largest phone and cable companies from turning the Internet into their private tollway. I urge the Senator to vote NO on Senator Stevens' telecommunications bill (S. 2686) unless real Net Neutrality language is added that prohibits network operators from discriminating against content and creating a tiered Internet."
Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)Undeclared on Net Neutrality Call Sen. Bingaman now at 202-224-5521
Say: "I urge Senator Bingaman to protect Net Neutrality, which prevents the largest phone and cable companies from turning the Internet into their private tollway. I urge the Senator to vote NO on Senator Stevens' telecommunications bill (S. 2686) unless real Net Neutrality language is added that prohibits network operators from discriminating against content and creating a tiered Internet."
