Net neutrality in the senate

The attack on net neutraility must be defeated in the Senate. For the latest, see Art Brodsky's column here. I'm exceptionally disappointed with Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, who has backed this offense. But he seems to be wavering. So if you want to contact someone, start with him. We also have to sway Olympia Snowe of Maine, Barbara Boxer of California (yes, she hasn't taken a stand yet) and Maria Cantwell of Washington.

By the way: For obvious reasons, these guys pay more attention to constituents. If you do not live in their states, and if you want them to think you do, here's a trick: Call their D.C. offices at night, when the staff is gone. Dial *67 before you dial the number. Leave a message telling 'em not to expect your vote if they do anything to change net neutrality. If they get hundreds of calls on this subject every single night...
