Google's "Take action" - Celebrate freedom. Support a free and open Internet.

Not a bad invitation from Google. Go to: Take Action
From Google's Official Blog: Celebrate freedom. Support a free and open Internet.
July 4, 2012
On July Fourth, America celebrates its independence.
In the summer of 1776, 13 disenfranchised colonies spoke. It took days for their declaration to be printed and distributed throughout the colonies, and it took weeks for it to be seen across the Atlantic.
Today, such a document could be published and shared with the world in seconds. More than any time in history, more people in more places have the ability to have their voices heard.
Powering these voices are billions of Internet connections around the world—people on their mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. The Internet is a powerful platform that makes it easier for people to speak, to assemble, and to be heard. This is true no matter where freedom is taking root.
Yet we’ve only just begun to see what a free and open Internet can do for people and for the freedom we cherish.
Today we’re sharing a video we made to celebrate our freedom and the tools that support it. Please take a moment to watch it, share it with your friends, and add your voice.
Join us in supporting a free and open Internet.

Cute little bit of (Javascript?) coding for the blog header's graphics.

Can't believe Google hired Susan Molinari to head their Washington office. She's an ousted republican hack whose party doesn't side with internet freedom, ever. I wouldn't hire her to wipe the dog's backside. Obama's been no friend of the internet either -- remember he campaigned on net neutrality only to abandon it two years later when Time Warner and AT&T flooded him with cash.

@zridling: Really? Susan Molinari? I guess you probably don't have a very hight opinion of her then, eh?
At least her name doesn't seem to be in this revolving door list:

she hasn't been in office since 1997 according to wikipedia.
zridling:
Yea, she was a typical politician -- say anything to get-then-stay in office back then. Her downfall was criticizing Newt Gingrich. If a person built a career on lies, how can I ever trust them? And why would anyone give these losers a job!
