Where to start....

I have been thinking intensely for several years now how best to fulfill my role as a citizen in the USA. I have voted most years, and paid taxes fairly consistently up until recently. However, these requisite civic duties have never felt real or tangible.

Recently, I have become increasing aware of all the alternative information available on the internet, and how much this information is in conflict with that of the mainstream media of the US. Although for many, this is a revelation comes to me more than ten years late, for still many more it is a revelation not yet experienced.

The current issue of "net neutrality" has brought this to the fore, as it may become possible to hinder those who have not "seen the light" from having the access to this wealth of shared knowledge. In effect, the media control and bias we now see in mainstream media may be brought here, to the best example of an archetypical level playing field for commerce and ideas.

As a place to start, however slowly, I have been calling my WI senators and representatives to urge them to fight this fight for the people. You should do the same.
