So I get this today from MoveOn.org

According to news reports, Google is about to cut a deal with Verizon that would end the Internet as we know it.

The reported Google-Verizon deal would allow giant corporations to control what websites are load quickly and easily on the Internet and dump everyone else onto an Internet slow lane.

We only have a few days to stop it, so we're working with coalition partners including Free Press and Credo to launch a grassroots protest calling on Google to scuttle the deal.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to Google Founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt.

Google doesn't control the root servers, switches, or individual servers so I don't see how this could be even remotely possible.
