Circa 2006, Code Pink's Trudi Kubick and Louisville Media Reform Group activists John Wilborn (a Committees of Correspondence member, John Hicks, Victoria Strange and Mark McKinley recently met with KY 3rd Congressional District Representative John Yarmuth at his local office to advocate for the preservation of net neutrality.
- Our friends at Free Press scheduled the visit as part of the full court press to keep the internet free.
- Representative Yarmuth said he supports equal access to the internet but expressed questions about ISPs funding capacity upgrades without tollbooths.
- Don't let John get snookered by telco kool-aid. A team of researchers at the University of Florida's Warrington College of Business Administration concluded in their report:"...the INCENTIVE to upgrade capacity is HIGHER under net neutrality."
- Contact John - tell him to "just say NO!" to Big Media spin. Press John to talk with Rep. Ed Markey, and to support Markey's efforts to preserve net neutrality.
At the time, prominent Louisville Media Reform Group activists included Cherise Williams, Anita Solomon, and Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism member Ira Grupper, and Communist Party USA supporter Walter Tillow.[1][2]
