Senator Mark Dayton Joins Fight for Network Neutrality
Ed Kohler
Technology Evangelist attended Minnesota Senator Mark Dayton's press conference today where he announced his support for the Internet Freedom Preservation Act (S.2917) introduced by Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Byron Dorgan (D-ND). If you find this video valuable please let us know in the comments or by linking to it. We request your help spreading the word about this important topic.



Sen. Dayton was presented with signatures from 13,000 Minnesotans in support of network neutrality. The signatures were presented by Becca Vargo Daggett, Director of the Telecommunications as Commons Project at the Institute for Local Self Reliance, on behalf of the SaveTheInternet.com Coalition. SaveTheInternet.com Coalition is a grassroots, nonpartisan alliance of hundreds of groups, thousands of bloggers, more than 19,000 MySpace friends and more than a million concerned Americans who have joined together to protect Internet freedom and network neutrality.

Dayton was generous with his time, allowing all in attendance to introduce themselves and explain why the issue of network neutrality is important to them. This video includes testimonials from a wide array of constituents on why this issue is important to free and informed people.
