0 Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) just introduced legislation to kill the open Internet, the deceptively named "Internet Freedom Act." This comes from a Senator who has received more money (<a href=http://realtime.sunlightprojects.org/2009/10/22/fighting-net-neutrality-telecom-companies-outside-lobbyists-cluster-contributions-to-members-of-congress/>$894,379</a>) from AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and their lobbyists than any other member of Congress. He also infamously told the media that he is "<a href=http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/23/xeni-on-rachel-maddo-1.html>illiterate</a>" when it comes to using the Internet and computers. So whom do you want to determine the future of the Internet? A senator who is little more than a puppet of same phone and cable lobby that wants to rig the Internet and control your clicks, or the more than <a href=http://www.savetheinternet.com>1.6 million people</a> who have called for Net Neutrality -- a group that includes <a href=http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/09/10/19/top-tech-ceos-and-pioneers-net-neutrality-essential-innovation>the geeks</a> who created the Internet as an open platform in the first place. McCain has built his reputation as an alleged "straight shooter." If he is truly a person of integrity, he should return the tainted $894,379 and get behind Net Neutrality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJKtSp2_kQ4 Sen.
