Make your voice heard: * *Attend the Hearing*<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=pnxfSpGubaZXAwp-eTdInA..> Next week, the Bay Area will host a landmark event on the future of the Internet -- and you're invited. All five FCC commissioners are coming to Stanford University on Thursday, April 17, to hear from the public about recent efforts by powerful phone and cable companies to block and censor the Internet. *WHAT:* A Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet *WHEN:* Thursday, April 17, 2008 *TIME:* 12:00 - 7:00 p.m. *WHERE:* Stanford University, Dinkelspiel Auditorium For the latest information, visit: <http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=L6EQoBM-fm2mJmP_leXwKw..> www.savetheinternet.com/=stanford It's time we all took a stand for Internet freedom. Local groups have organized a series of community meetings where you can meet other people who are speaking out for a free and open Internet, learn more about the issue, and even prepare your own testimony for the FCC: *Sunday, April 13, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.* The Media Center 900 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto *Monday, April 14, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.* KPFA-FM 94.1 1929 Martin Luther King Way, Berkeley *Tuesday, April 15, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.* Bay Area Video Coalition 2727 Mariposa Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco *Wednesday, April 16, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.* One East Palo Alto Office 1798 Bay Road, East Palo Alto For directions, maps, and more information, visit: <http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=6BFjEDT8l-Swz5rsqQxKOg..> www.savetheinternet.com/=stanford_workshops. With so much at stake, it's encouraging that the FCC is seeking public feedback. But at the agency's last hearing near Boston, cable giant Comcast paid people off the street to fill the seats. As a result, more than 100 local citizens were turned away at the door. We need to show Comcast and other would-be gatekeepers that the public will not be blocked or silenced. Come to Stanford and be heard!
