Good morning, INWers,

Today is the day state Senator David Hoyle (D-Gaston) will debate 
S.1209, his anti-municipal-Internet bill, in the Senate Finance 
Committee meeting at 1 PM. If you can make it to express your opposition 
it would go a long way towards protecting Google Fiber and other 
private-public Internet initiatives.

We have a chance to change North Carolina's ranking of 41st out of 50 
for broadband service. Please call your senators this morning or show up 
at today's meeting. Thanks for your efforts to date!
