Internet sellout !!! Craig - Crapo ACT NOW!!!
Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

Sen. Craig has publicly stated he is against Internet freedom. Now's your chance to tell the senator to stand with the people of Idaho and defend a free and open Internet from greedy phone and cable giants.

Sen. Crapo is undecided.

Sen. Craig is holding a series of town meetings throughout August, golden opportunities for him to hear from the public that he's made the wrong choice.


Please attend one of these events and ask the senator to change his position and support Net Neutrality:


WHEN: Tuesday August 22nd, 12-1 p.m.
WHERE: City Hall, 7232 Main Street, Bonners Ferry
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Tuesday August 22nd, 2-3 p.m.
WHERE: Transportation Information Office, 202 N. Second St., Sandpoint
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Tuesday August 22nd, 7-8 p.m.
WHERE: Human Rights Education Institute, 414 W. Mullan, Coeur D'Alene
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Wednesday August 23rd, 9:30-10:30 a.m.
WHERE: Commerce and Labor Offices, 25 Wildcat Way, Kellogg
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Wednesday August 23rd, 1-2 p.m.
WHERE: The Grub Box Restaurant, 201 N. 8th, St. Maries
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Wednesday August 23rd, 7-8 p.m.
WHERE: University Inn, Silver Room, 1516 Pulman Road, Moscow
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Thursday August, 24th, 12-1:30 p.m.
WHERE: VFW Hall, 330 Michigan Road, Orofino
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.


WHEN: Thursday August, 24th, 7-8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Grangeville Senior Center, County Road, Grangeville
RSVP: Let us know you can make it, meet others who are attending.



The Senate is about to vote on a bill that will shape the future of the Internet. Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Time Warner are spending millions in Washington to win control over what we see, where we go, and what we do online.


These public events are perfect opportunities to tell Senator Craig to publicly change his position.

1. Oh Crapo!
I missed all of Craigs townhall meetings. I will most certainly contact his office via snail, email and a phone call.
If Craig supports a corporate controlled internet then I guess we know who butters his toast and it isn't the
common man and woman residents of Idaho.
