Please SIGN THIS PETITION — This is a bipartisan issue. We need to keep the internet free from telecoms lobbying efforts. They’re making increasingly aggressive moves that could destroy the nature of the internet.

My first reaction to another Move On petition was that I shouldn’t bother. Why is Move On doing this? Their involvement is confusing the issue for people, as summarized in this interesting post by Russel Shaw.

If you don’t want to sign a Move On petition, then maybe you’ll consider participating in this Viral Marketing contest.

I personally disagree with Shaw’s conclusions. The viral marketing contest idea is clever, I guess, and I hope it generates a lot of interest. Still; not many of us are going to invest the time and energy it takes to create a thoughtful 30-60 second video sound byte. Maybe the web community is overlooking a potential solution — let everyone link to their research and hash out their ideas in a non-partisan, public funded, Carter Center moderated wiki.
