Too bad there aren't any Canadian petitions for this. (I am Canadian.)
We (Canadians) seem to be facing the same thing here too. (Telus, Bell Canada, Rogers, and Shaw want to go down this path too, from what I've heard/read.)
See ya

This is a message of interest to all of us making use of a free and uncensored Internet:Subject: Stop the hostile takeover of the Internet:*******************************************************
"Congress is now pushing through a law that would give control of the Internet to giant companies who want to charge big bucks for things that are currently free or low-cost---everything from posting a webpage to being able to use audio, video, and photos online.
This would ruin the Internet for nearly everyone: nonprofits, online activists, Google users, Ipod listeners, small businesses, economic innovators, and others.
Politicians don't think we are paying attention to this issue. Many of them take campaign checks from big telecom companies and are on the verge of letting companies like AT&T and Verizon destroy the Internet for the little guy.
We need to act now. Can you sign this petition to your member of Congress asking him or her not to ruin the Internet? Click here:
