posted Dec 112008 please join the band to protect
internet access for Massachusetts Dear janet,
Time
is running out to shape the future of Internet access in
Massachusetts.
Last
August, Gov. Deval Patrick set aside
$40 million to bring
high-speed, affordable Internet service to the 32 Massachusetts
communities still offline.
But state officials shouldn't partner with
private companies without requiring public interest protections.
Massachusetts simply cannot afford another state initiative that
profits the phone
and cable giants while leaving communities in the
dark. Free Press is submitting a plan to the state that will give all
of us access to high-speed Internet on our terms. Now we need your
support for the plan.
Be Part of the
Massachusetts Broadband Solution
http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=9eK6OBGRWtT_Jmckp1_ZNw..
Click on the link above to sign on to Free Press' "Broadband Solution"
for Massachusetts. We need you and thousands of other Massachusetts
residents to sign on by Dec. 19, so we can submit
the plan to the
state with a show of strong public support.
Our proposal is simple. We believe that the public
funds used to
create this network should include strong pro-consumer principles that
ensure open access and consumer
choice and that creates a
discrimination-free Internet that fosters new ideas and supports
community
media.
We need your help to ensure that this taxpayer money is used
responsibly to bring Massachusetts
residents the best broadband
service possible in the years ahead.
Building the network is only part of the
solution. We have to provide
the technology training and access to computers so people can make the
most out
of this investment.

Massachusetts was one of the first states to connect to the Internet
more than thirty
years ago. Let's see to it that the state
continues to lead the way in economic and community development and
ingenuity.
Onward,
Megan Tady, Josh Stearns, Candace Clement, Kimberly Longey, and the
rest of
the Massachusetts Free Press team

Dear janet,
Any moment now, President-elect Barack Obama will announce his choice
to lead the Federal Communications Commission. We need to be sure the
person he chooses lives up to Obama's campaign
pledges to reform
the media in America.
To help, Free Press just placed a help wanted ad in four influential
Washington publications.
http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=FybUm-uTpAh-1s52aDQnOQ..
Technically, we're not doing the hiring, but the administration
needs to be reminded
by all of us that the new chair must put Main
Street before Wall Street.
Weigh In on the Next FCC Chair
http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=aS3XXnOFrwWkT_QacSe-MA..
The FCC has been held hostage by corporate interests for too long. Now
is our best
chance to change course and make real the possibility of
universal broadband access, an open Internet, and more locally
controlled radio and TV.
The new FCC chair will be charged with bringing American media into
the 21st century,
which is why Obama must hear from you before
deciding.
Take Our Poll: Rank Your FCC Priorities
http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=u5qutn78QBzSNEeYA1u5Nw..
Tell us what you want the new FCC chair to do, and we'll deliver the
results
of the poll to Obama's transition team. It's time the FCC met
the challenges of reform and renewed the
media's role in our
democracy.
This is one of the most important job openings to be filled by the
next
administration. Let's speak out to make sure we find the
right person for the job.
Onward,
Josh
Stearns
