In the coming weeks, the Obama Administration will make a critical decision about whether the internet remains open to all or whether corporate interests will be able to control access, said Charles Chamberlain, DFA Political Director. Today, our 1 million members are urging the Obama Administration to keep the internet how it is open to all. With more and more corporate control of mass media, a free and open Internet is critical to our democracy. Late last week, DFA joined with other progressive organizations to send a letter to President Obama urging him to take a strong stand in support of net-neutrality.
