Diego,

First the good news:  Last week we challenged you to help us beat the Entertainment Industry's front group "Creative America" -- It took them three months to round up 10,000 Internet Blacklist Bill proponents, but we found 10,000 new censorship opponents in just three days!

We won the battle, but the war rages on. A private company wants its own Internet Kill Switch. Verisign controls the assignment of .com and .net domain names -- and makes nearly $700 million each year to do it.  Now it's seeking the power to take down websites whenever governments wants them censored.

Will you fight back by urging regulators to reject Verisign's request?  It'll just take a second.

Verisign could implement the Internet Blacklist Bill that's pending before Congress.  And it could help governments censor political speech abroad -- or, eventually, here in the United States.

The group that regulates domain name assignments -- and would need to approve Verisign's request -- is called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. 

Will you click here to urge ICANN to reject Verisign's request for its own kill switch?

Thanks.
