Can you help Free My Phone?
http://www.freepress.net/node/71201

Major corporations are trying to take over the Internet - in a move that is akin to turning our national Interstate Highway system into private toll roads where only company approved cars are allowed to drive.

I will be donating $35 to the “Free My Phone” effort - and I’m doing it for the kids. The Internet was created and grown up by the American people (through the federal government & major public universities) - so our tax money and our national brain-trust laid the foundation for and built up this great communications network we know as the Internet. And even today - AT&T uses public airwaves and public right-of-ways but they think they are free of public responsibility - and they act as if they own it all.

AT&T’s total disregard for American values or any values of decency needs to be stopped. AT&T aren’t the only cell phone carriers that are treading on the Internet - but they are the most obvious about it. If we can get Congress to require AT&T to follow the law, just like you & I have to, the other carriers will either fall in line or pay the costs of breaking the law.

An email I started but never sent to my friends. It made me feel like a cheerleading tool. Still, can you help Free My Phone?
