    Supporters of “net neutrality,” including Free Press, argues high-speed Internet access is a “civil right” & is pushing new govt regulations to provide broadband Internet for all people. Judicial Watch uncovered internal exchanges showing coordination by officials at FCC & Free Press pushing “net neutrality” agenda in the controversial FCC vote in 12/10: On 11/2/10, Free Press Associate Outreach Director Misty Perez Truedson sent an email to John Giusti, Chief of Staff to FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, have Copps to write an op-ed for the Albuquerque Journal in advance of 11/16/10 hearing on Internet access: “Would Commissioner Copps be interested in drafting an Op-ed in advance of the hearing? It’s a great way to get the word out & to spark conversations in advance of the event,” Truedson wrote. “We’re working on the op ed,” Giusti wrote back on11/9/10. Also documts include a series of emails sent to set up meetings between Copps & former Free Press President John Silver. “We are starting to get a good sense of how we’d like to proceed during the next three tricky months on NN [net neutrality]…” Silver wrote in the same 10/ 8/10, email: “I think it may make sense for us to get together next week when I’m in town.” The documts also include a written summary of a phone call between Silver & Copps on 11/28/10, just prior to the FCC vote in 12/10: “Silver emphasized that a strong net neutrality rule is critical to preserving the Internet as a vibrant forum for speech, commerce, innovation and cultural expression…” . One set of documts includes exchanges between FCC Special Counsel David Tannenbaum & Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott establishing lists of speakers for FCC “internet workshops.” Among the speakers proposed by Scott: “Joe Respars (ran online activism for the Obama campaign @ Blue State Digital);” “Alex Nogales, National Hispanic Media Coalition;” “Jay Stanley, ACLU;” & Reporters without Borders.” When Tannenbaum asked Scott about inviting a speaker from Color for Change in a 11/17/10 email, Scott writes: “Yes, we know them well. I should have put James Rucker on my list. He’s very good. Up and coming civil rights leader. They are awesome. However, you should be aware that Color of Change is rather highly politicized. They are lead on the campaign to strip Glenn Beck of advertisers. And Van Jones is one of the founders. Not that these things should dissuade you from inviting them, I just wanted you to know.” (Van Jones was forced to resign from his position as Obama’s “Green Jobs czar.)” Free Press has deep ties to radical leftists &socialists. Robert McChesny, former editor of the socialist magazine Monthly Review, is the co-founder and president of Free Press. Kim Gandy, the Chairman of the Free Press Board of Directors, served as the President of the National Organization for Women from 2001-2009. Craig Aaron, Free Press’s President and CEO, formerly worked as managing editor of the socialist tabloid In These Times. Free Press is financially supported by George Soros’s Open Society Institute & other hard-left groups such as the Ford Foundation and Democracy Alliance. “Net neutrality is just another Obama power grab. This is nothing less than the Obama administration’s attempt to stage a govt takeover of the Internet under the guise of ‘net neutrality.’ So its not a surprise that Free Press, the hard left organization with socialist ties, is improperly driving the so-called net neutrality agenda from inside Obama administration. FCC is supposed to be an independent agency that follows the law,” said Judicial Watch President Fitton. “The American people should be deeply troubled by the fact that the Obama administration, on issue after issue, seems to be run by shadowy leftist organizations. Our govt is supposed to be ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people’, not ‘of the Left, by the Left, & for the Left.’” http://www.judicialwatch.org/news/2011/jun/fcc-colluded
