some of us are closing our eyes to Haiti, as we seem to think it’s all better now. incase you missed the news – IT’S NOT.
If Anything it's Getting Worse. most of the attention is now being refocused and that means the basics needs are still not being met. people are still homeless and even still being pulled alive from the buildings almost a month later.

What would you do if they took away YOUR Internet ?Watch This


This Is Part Two - it's well worth watching, then click that button below to sign the petition. you and I pay for the internet, and the phone cops seem to have forgotten that.


Please support and REPOST THIS PSA
Thursday Deadline: Show the FCC that there is strong public support for net neutrality.
Your message to the FCC: Net neutrality is the cornerstone of innovation, free speech and democracy on the Internet. Please propose and enact strong net neutrality rules to ensure that the Internet is free from blocking, censorship and discrimination.

Clicking here will add your name to the petition.
Speak up before January 14 to save the Internet. Dear Friend, Who do you want to decide which websites you can visit or what Internet content you can access — you or a big telecom company? That's what the fight about network neutrality is all about. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet users, not Internet service providers, should be in control. If you support net neutrality, now's the time to speak out. The Federal Communications Commission has proposed net neutrality rules that will ensure that the Internet is free from blocking, censorship and discrimination by powerful telecom companies. And the FCC has opened up a public comment period to get feedback on the proposed rules — but only until this Thursday (January 14)!

Tell the FCC: Save net neutrality. Click here and we'll automatically add your name to our petition, which will be delivered before the Thursday deadline. We need you to speak up because the telecoms are fighting these rules tooth-and-nail. Their pushback began even before the rules were announced. Eighteen Senators (all Republicans) sent a letter to the FCC opposing net neutrality. One Republican senator even announced an effort to prevent the FCC from spending funds to enforce the new rules once they go into effect. Separately, 72 House Democrats sent their own letter to the FCC opposing net neutrality rules. This type of pressure from Congress hasn't go unnoticed at the FCC, so now's the time for citizens like you to speak out and fight back.

Save the Internet. Click here and we'll automatically submit your comment to the FCC's public comment period in support of net neutrality.
Without strong net neutrality rules, we might have to rely upon the good will of large telecoms to protect our access to the diversity of political perspectives. We might have to trust companies like Comcast, which actively and secretly interfered with users' ability to access popular video, photo and music sharing applications; AT&T, which censored anti-Bush comments made by Pearl Jam's lead singer during a concert; and Verizon Wireless, which interfered with NARAL Pro-Choice America's ability to send text messages to its members. We can't let the corporate lobbyists win. What good is free speech if powerful corporations have the power to stifle communications they find objectionable?

Tell the FCC: Save net neutrality. Click here and we'll automatically submit your comment before the comment period closes on January 14.
Thank you for working to build a better world.

FYI – Entrecard has put up to 8 additional cards on your widget without your knowledge NOW

EntertainmentMedia

3 months ago

Somehow it seems Entrecard Does Not Want OUR Drops – so with that said, we’re going to begin the exit process.  we hope that you understand why we’ll be pulling TWO of Our Blogs OUT Of Entrecard Before Christmas.

The Consistent Loss of drops and credits does not add up. neither does the lost time. the problem happens over and over.  randomly during the week we get these penalties and loose the drop day as well.

is this a new power move within the Entrecard Enforcement Strategy when you decide to monitor your paid ads ?

Ahhhhh YES ! Now We Know why this happened – we went into our dashboard and managed the invisible load of ads there were blocking the EC Paid Ads from showing on our widget. Think Back EC Bloggers, Did You Get an Announcement of Any Additional Ads Being Put onto Your Widget, or that you could Preview Them ?

When We Opened the Dashboard to look at the ads, There were 8 paid ads. you are only allowed to block 4 of them.  that means if you are paying for ads with EC’s;  you will be paying for very minimal visibility. At most you’ll get 1/5 of your ec paid impressions; because they are merged with the CASH ADS, NOW.

go test it for yourself and then you can see that this is not a game, nor is this a hoax. Entrecard has put up to 8 additional cards on your widget without your knowledge or the consideration of those who pay for EC Ads with EC’s Instead of Cash.

That’s What Made the Decision for Us Today –
