Hey Reddit! Please help stop John McCain's "Internet Freedom Act" ... I made an email template you can forward. (re-post to correct topic)

Why didn't we see this headline in the MSM? - "Obama brings 22,000 troops out of Iraq, cuts war spending by $30 billion."

"Net Neutrality regulations are nothing more than a means to preserve the Internet as we've always known it - as an open platform from which anybody can innovate. Any attempt to argue otherwise is merely an effort to mislead on behalf of the telecommunication industry."

Are the top 19 links on reddit all from /r/politics for anyone else?

Favre, Brady and P. Manning. Roethlisberger, E. Manning and Romo. Rodgers, Flacco and Ryan. Not to even mention Warner, McNabb and Rivers. We are arguably witnessing the greatest quarterbacking era in NFL history.

Why did Deadspin, a sports site, decide it necessary to bring down two careers and a marriage over a broken-up affair?

Riddle me this...why is a fumble out of the end zone a posession change?
