Make the Internet Your Valentine

The season of love is upon us.  We know the open Internet, with all it's innovative services, is the real love of your life.  So why not go ahead and show how much you care, make the Internet your Valentine this year. 

SaveOurNet.ca's appeal for Canadians to make the Internet their Valentine is making the rounds on, you guessed it ... the Internet.

Just launched late yesterday, the campaign to help save the open Internet and stop Internet service providers from become Internet gatekeepers has already seen a swatch of posts on popular social networking platforms Twitter and Facebook. This afternoon the campaign was also the subject of a news post on popular technology news site Ars Technica.
SaveOurNet.ca is a coalition of citizens, businesses, and public interest groups fighting to protect our Internet's level playing field.  We're calling on lawmakers and industry to protect openness, choice, and access for ALL Canadians - and stopping lobbyists and special interests from ruining Canada's Internet.
If you haven't already, send a comment to the CRTC urging them to save your Internet/valentine: http://www.unionvoice.org/...aign/crtc_submission
Canadians:  NOW is the time to let the CRTC know where YOU stand on Internet freedom.
