CALL TO ACTION : Net Neutrality Comments Needed Now

Dear Readers:

In case you missed it, July 12th was a Day of Action for Net Neutrality. You can learn more by searching "day of action net neutrality" or "net neutrality" or "net neutrality bill" or something to that effect. Wired and Mashable have some good articles/online posts about it.

I cannot stress enough how important it is that each of us takes a moment to make a comment in favor of preserving net neutrality.

To do so, please visit this link, click on + Express and fill out the form, including the comment section. Please use your real name and contact information.

Proceeding(s): 17-108 : Restoring Internet Freedom

Filer(s): Mari Tamburo

Brief Comments: Net neutrality is crucial to the health and wealth of our society because people from all walks of life have gifts to share with the world and we have much to teach and learn from each other. A free and open internet makes this possible. Please preserve net neutrality

_______

Admittedly, it's not the most eloquent example of my writing, but it makes a clear statement that I want to protect net neutrality.

All efforts do not have to be perfect, but we do need to make them.

Thanks in advance for not being "silent in the shadows."

Best Regards,
Mari

Our First Woman President in 2018?

It just occurred to me it is entirely possible for the US to end up with a Democrat woman President in 2018.

Think about it.

This is s good lesson for life. At least I think so at this moment.

"...sometimes the lack of motivation that we see in our students is a function of the work that we are asking them to do."
