Hi all,

As you all know, I have been fighting like heck for Brian Sackrider and 
him being able to get back on the internet.

Well, someone told me some awesome news, Chattanooga, Tn, has are you 
sitting down? Chattanooga, Tn, has 1 gig per second, city wide internet, 
and other cities do as well!

That's the great news, but Comcast, the greedy company that they are, 
are hell bent on getting rid of any and all other competition, you read 
that right, *ANY OTHER* competition, just read the article, and get 
angry, and forward it to anyone you know who wants *REAL* competition, ok?

I don't tell people to forward things, but it is time for America to get 
up off the mat, and fight like heck, along side those of us who want 
true, competition for internet choice!

have now sued, to stop any, I said *ANY* further development.

I thought capitalists want competition, obviously, Comcast, does not, so 
don't tell me and anyone else they are a capitalist company!!!!

I have never been this angry, in all my life, never, the other night was 
nothing, and all the other times that I've posted things on this list 
when I was angry about something, they pail, to how angry I am.

I've been in politics at all levels since 1981, and I've seen it all. 
Friends, when they say that these companies pay people off, that is the 
truth, just look at the part of the article about all the people that 
are paid off by them, all the lobbiests.

I feel angry toward them, like I would feel toward a murderer that 
murdered my kids!

These people don't want competition, they don't want *ANY* I said, *ANY* 
competition, *NOTHING), this is immoral!

Anyway, here is this fantastic article from the Nation magazine.

Harry, glad I'm staying up a couple more hours, I'll need them, to calm 
down, but it's time for the American people to fight like heck and get 
internet choice
