First Iraq, Now This?
Oops… Philly mayoral hopeful Chaka Fattah may have just lost himself the internet vote. From MoveOn.org earlier today:
Your representative, Chaka Fattah, dealt a blow to Internet freedom on Thursday.
As millions of us raised our voices to defend the free and open Internet2, Internet operators like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast spent millions lobbying the House of Representatives to kill Net Neutrality. A majority of the House members caved—voting for a telecommunications law that would give these companies more control over what you see and do online.
All eyes are now on the Senate, which considers this issue next. We face a more friendly environment there, but we’ve got to act fast—the telecom lobbyists are working on every vote.
