Please Support Net Neutrality!
*jumps on the soap box*
this election year is shaping up to be a doozy… we’re very close to narrowing down the republican and democratic candidates, and it seems like there is more at stake this year for everyone across all lines (gender, ethnicity, etc)… the biggest issue of course seems to be the war in Iraq, followed by a number of other issues (the recession, immigration, etc) that, no matter the outcome, will affect everyone…
now, as a techie, there are some issues which, in addition to the ones mentioned above, directly affect what i, and other tech-savvy Americans, will be able to do in the future as far as creativity, innovation, and even writing a blog or posting to YouTube.
a good outline on some tech issues, plus candidates stances on them, can be found here: TechCrunch Primaries
one of the issues that is of particular importance to me is Net Neutrality. i am in support of it, and i hope that when you go out to vote you please consider your particular choice’s stance on the issue.
check out this video for a good overview of Net Neutrality
