Xanthippa's Chamberpot

This is an urgent appeal from OpenMedia – I am forwarding it on to you for your consideration:

We only have 24 hours until key matching support ends. Please sign up now to avoid missing this opportunity.

Become a monthly donor in the next 24 hours and indie ISP Distributel and domain registrar Hover will double your contribution every single month in 2012. Even contributing $3 will make a huge difference. We can’t stress enough how crucial your participation is in sustaining our work fighting for an open and affordable Internet.

Please join us today before this generous matching funds offer ends.

In case you need another nudge, here’s what one of you said in our survey:

“The team at OpenMedia does fantastic work and together we can achieve our goals of keeping the internet affordable and surveillance free…I am proud to be a current and continuing supporter of OpenMedia’s efforts…Our country is entering a very dangerous time and I feel that OpenMedia’s efforts, along with the efforts of supporters and the public, are key to protecting our democracy and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

Together, we stopped the government in their tracks on two key decisions this year: allowing Big Telecom more complete control over Internet pricing in Canada, and including a new online spying scheme in a package of crime reforms. But we’ve received word that lobbyists are working overtime through closed-door meetings to make the Internet more restricted and expensive.

Don’t let them undo the progress we’ve made this year. Take this last chance to have your contributions doubled.

With hope,

Steve, Reilly, Lindsey & Shea
