If we could design an Internet-saving superhero, it might just be in the likes of Minnesota Sen. Al Franken.

The senator has been an outspoken supporter of free speech and the open Internet, saying recently that “Net Neutrality is THE First Amendment issue of our time.” And now, he’s created his own petition and Facebook campaign to fight for it.

Check it out here. Already, more than 11,000 people have signed his petition supporting Net Neutrality.

Sen. Franken uses excerpts from his recent speech at a conference in Las Vegas to appeal for help from the public to stop the corporate takeover of the media and save Net Neutrality: “If you want to protect the free flow of information in the country and all that depends on it, you have to help me fight this.”

While many other members of Congress and lawmakers are caving to industry lobbyists, and are poised to hand the future of the Internet to corporations, Sen. Franken is bravely stepping out to speak up. Stand with him, and then stand with the nearly two million people who support Net Neutrality at SavetheInternet.com.
