Do Something Good

I just got this e-mail from my aunt:

Porn-Free, Family-Friendly Broadband Internet

Kevin Martin, Chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has a Christmas present in mind for Americans. He is backing a plan to take a bundle of inactive airwaves for wireless broadband and offering it for free. To make this sugar plum even sweeter, Martin's condition is that this service also be porn-free. If this plan is backed by a vote at the FCC's December 18 meeting, adult content will be blocked on these airwaves.

Of course, those who think smut is a right are hollering at the prospect, however they still have a right of paying for a service of their choice or removing the filter once they have proven they are 18.


Urge FCC Commissioners to Yes for this plan by contacting them at their offices: Deborah Taylor Tate (202-418-2500), Michael Copps (202-418-2000), Jonathan Adelstein (202-418-2300), and Robert McDowell (202-418-2200).

I called all four commissioners and all I said was, "Hi I'm calling to let Commissioner Taylor (or whoever) that I support the plan to have porn-free broadband." They let me know that my support was noted and that was it. Easy. Takes two minutes or less and you are doing a good thing. So call now!

Oh and don't forget to vote on my very important poll to the right too!
