A New Tool for Putting Net Neutrality on the Map
The question isn’t who’s been naughty and who’s been nice this holiday season. It’s who’s supporting Net Neutrality, and who isn’t?
And now, we’re making it easy for you to find out. We’ve built a new, interactive map that allows you to effortlessly find out where your members of Congress stand on Net Neutrality. You can use the tool to call your rep, tell us how it went, and post the map on Facebook and Twitter so others can do the same.
Just click on your state – or any state – to find out which representatives are supportive of an open Internet. I’ve been playing with the map all morning – it’s almost getting as addictive as Minesweeper.
What’s most cool about this map is that it was a crowd-sourcing effort created with the help of your fellow activists. We recently asked thousands of activists to call their representatives and report back to us on whether they support the Internet Freedom Preservation Act (H.R. 3458).We used those responses to help us build the map.
Although the map is public, we’re still in early phases, so please help us update it with new data, kick the tires, and share it with your friends. We’d love to hear your feedback in the comment thread below.
And if your rep is unknown or undecided — or is already lining up on the wrong side of this issue — now is the time to give them a call.
