And we need you to play a part. InternetforEveryone.org coalition are convening a special town hall meeting on the USC campus on December 6. Our goal is to create a people-powered mandate for the future of America's Internet... and to deliver it to the new president and Congress. Los Angeles is where the movement to make universal Internet access a reality in America begins. Please join us: WHAT: InternetforEveryone.org town hall meeting WHEN: Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008. 12:30 - 5:30 p.m. WHERE: Radisson Hotel Los Angeles -- Midtown at USC, 3540 South Figueroa Street (Map) RSVP: _Reserve Your Place_ (http://free.convio.net/site/Calendar?view=Detail&id=101021) (Only 250 seats are available. Reserve yours today.) New leadership in Washington needs to know that universal access to a fast, affordable and open Internet is essential to our country’s future. It's urgent that we begin this conversation right now. Here's why: * While America is the birthplace of the Internet, we have failed to deliver its vast benefits to everyone. Millions of Americans still stand on the wrong side of the "digital divide." And the damages -- economic, social and political -- are hurting us all. * Since 2001, we have fallen to 22nd place in world rankings of Internet costs and service. While Americans face higher prices and fewer choices, consumers in European and Asian countries enjoy universal deployment, open access and competitive markets. * High-speed Internet access is no longer a luxury; it’s a lifeline for all Americans. Getting everyone connected would translate into greater participation in our democracy, millions of new jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in increased economic activity for the United States. The solution begins with 250 Angelinos from all walks of life talking about the ways America can restore its Internet leadership. We need your help and commitment to get this conversation started. The Los Angeles town hall meeting will include roundtable and group discussions and inspiring speakers. Your discussions will shape a national plan to achieve a more open, affordable and fast Internet for everyone. _RSVP Now to Decide the Internet's Future in Los Angeles_ (http://free.convio.net/site/Calendar?view=Detail&id=101021) The event is free and open to the public, although space is limited. Please RSVP now to make sure you have a seat at the table. We need your help to get every parent, student, business owner, teacher -- everyone in the United States -- to tell our leaders to stand with us for a better Internet. As Congress and the White House are in transition, our leaders need our unified support to make this bold move. This movement begins with you. Thank you, 1.
