Profit With Today's Internet--A Seminar Invitation

(8/13/2006)   Since before Al Gore invented the internet, we've been working with it. Now, we'd like to share some information with you.

There was a time not too long ago when, if you built it, they would come--that was the internet. But like so many other things, the times have changed. Now there are well over 1 billion web sites--dogs, cats and babies all have web sites!

On today's internet, the problem is how to make your web site work for you to improve your bottom line.

Today's internet is a mystery to many and many who think they understand it, just plain don't. That's why the "coolest" web site may well be a complete flop for your business!

If you're a business owner, a professional person, or if your company provides you a "web site" on their site (realtors are especially prone to this problem) we urge you to attend our free seminar on how to profit with today's internet.

Save The Internet--Call A Senator Today

(8/13/2006)   It passed the House before anyone knew what happened. Then it went to the U.S. Senate. It is called Senate Bill 2686, the Communications, Consumers' Choice and Broadband Deployment Act.

If this legislation is allowed to become law in its present form, every phone and cable company will be allowed to charge not just the amount you pay to subscribe, i.e., get internet service, but also a fee to allow others to send content over their "wire." They say, "We won't charge...trust us!"

What does this mean? Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Sears, Amazon, and lots of other web sites can be forced to pay a fee to send information over every phone and/or cable company's piece of the net. Big companies will pass that on to you in the form of higher prices (ouch.) Small companies will pass into oblivion. The internet will be irrevocably changed as "free" and "variety" become just fond memories.

We urge you to join us in telling your U.S. Senators to ignore the phone and cable companies' billions and to stop this travesty by refusing to vote for the bill as it now stands to go to the floor for a full Senate vote. Tell them "No net neutrality, no bill. Or else, no vote for reelection!" Call them today--it will take you less than three minutes to give your opinion to both:
