I, along with members of the Austin Broadband Interest Group, met with Rep. Doggett's office on July 1 to do just that. And they were very receptive to our cause, and had done the research prior to our meeting to understand H.R.2902. I can't stress enough that every single one of you has the power to educate your elected officials. I think you'll be surprised just how easy it is to be heard.

Unfortunately...that's not practical. The people need to step up and demand their government leaders do their job by policing the endless greed of these large ISP corporations.
