Example 1

Dear [MEP] the European Parliament is about to vote on the Telecoms Package (May 6th) and throughout the Internet, many thousands of people, including myself, are now very concerned about how this will limit our freedom and how it will affect business in the EU.

The core principles of the Internet that have brought us unparalleled freedom of expression and an incredible amount of business growth and innovation are being threatened by certain amendments that will now be voted on.

These new laws will permit my broadband provider to offer a restricted service, blocking my access to any site or service they choose. I'm concerned that these amendments will kill the life of the Internet as we know it and could have a serious, detrimental impact on Europe's economy.

Please protect our rights as online citizens, support ammendments which safeguard my rights to access and distribute content, services and applications. And reject any text which talks about 'lawful content' or placing limitations, restrictions or conditions on my Internet access. In particular, I would like you to guarantee my rights to freely use the Internet, and ensure that all websites and services are accessible to all users.

The following links offer voting recommendations for May 6th to safeguard these rights: http://www.laquadrature.net/files/Voting%20list%20Harbour%20Report-A6-0257-2009.pdf http://www.laquadrature.net/files/Voting%20list%20Trautmann%20Report-A6-0272-2009.pdf
