Backers of Open Internet Protest Outside Google HQ
--------------------------------------------------



Supporters of a free and open internet rallied outside Google
headquarters on Friday protesting a proposal by Google and Verizon that
could radically restructure the internet by essentially creating a
two-tiered internet system. Organizers from Free Press and Color of
Change delivered petitions signed by 300,000 people calling on Google to
abandon the proposal.
