<p>Diego,</p>
<p>F<a href="http://act.demandprogress.org/go/307?akid=953.609406.t8fXd_&t=1" target="_blank"><img src="" style="max-width:300px;float:right" alt="" width="150" height="150"></a>irst 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, <i>but we found 10,000 new censorship opponents in just three days!</i></p>
<p>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. <b><b>Now it's seeking the power to take down websites whenever governments wants them censored.</b></b><b></b></p>
<p><b><a href="http://act.demandprogress.org/go/307?akid=953.609406.t8fXd_&t=2" target="_blank">Will you fight back by urging regulators to reject Verisign's request? It'll just take a second.</a><br></b></p>
<p>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.<br><br>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. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p><b>PS: Please help us spread the word about this ploy by Verisign to censor the net:</b></p>
