SAVE THE INTERNET...seriously, right now...
I don't make a habit of talking politics, believe me, but this is something
that, believe it or not, is completely related to my music, THUS, this email.
Here's the latest from the Senate Commerce Committee, where a "mark-up" on
several amendments to Senator Stevens's Telecom Act began today at 10 a.m.:
The Snowe-Dorgan Net Neutrality amendment will probably come before the
Committee by mid-to-late afternoon. If successfully passed, the amendment would
put Net Neutrality language into the massive Telecommunications Act.
This is critical. If your Senators sit on the committee, they need to hear from
you immediately.
Mark Pryor is on a list of those who have not have not taken a strong position
in favor of Internet freedom and for the Snowe-Dorgan Amendment.

SAVE THE INTERNET!!!
This isn’t just speculation -- we've already seen what happens elsewhere when the Internet's
gatekeepers get
too much control. Last year, Telus -- Canada's version of AT&T -- blocked their Internet customers
from visiting
a Web site sympathetic to workers with whom the company was having a labor dispute.
Madison River, a North Carolina ISP, blocked its customers from using any competing Internet phone service.

2.08.2006 Bloggin', y'all and YES it's true! My grandpa and I will be featured on the new Rachel Ray show called TASTY TRAVELS -
and by featured I mean there will be a nanosecond clip of us eating burgers and cheesecake at Doe's!
I'm going to put this up there with meeting Glen Campbell, opening for Mary Lou Lord (but really what can top
that) and having my call answered on "CALLING ALL PETS" (to which they were absolutely no help whatsoever).
Things I'd rather forget:
accosting Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson, telling "Mare" that my mom went to High School with her.
SARA THOMAS OPENS FOR DAVE MATTHEWS???
That's what the headline should say.
The Dave Matthews Band is surveying their audience on who they like for potential opening acts for Summer 2006.
Help us out; take two seconds to fill out the form - and of course, please put SARA THOMAS in the first blank:) You can do that
HERE.
I've finally uploaded the Buzz Interview from the fall. You can check it out in our

Thanks to Sticky Fingerz and everyone that came out last night. It was a great audience and a great show!
It's always exciting when we get new entries in the Guestbook! Be sure and check it out and leave us a message!
SAD NEWS: I HAVE LOST MY JACKET.
Last night, I lost my jacket at Stickyz. If anyone has it, please give it back to me, for I am poor, and the staff says that it is no longer there which can only mean one thing - IT IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Please restore my faith in humanity, for I have none right now. It is a black, velour, banana republic blazer and it was a gift from...the president...
Lookin' forward to gettin' it back, y'all.
I mentioned in the e-news that I'm starting a blog...it's supposed to "unblock" my writer's block. We'll see what happens.
Check out the BLOG.
