moveon.org has waded into this battle.  i wouldn't have mentioned it,
but now that others have raised the issue, you can see their position
at: http://civic.moveon.org/alerts/savetheinternet.html

it includes a hotlink to the page where you can add your name to their
petition.  i'll warn you though, you'll be silently added to moveon's
email list; you'll then have to jump through an additional hoop to
unsub yourself if that's what you want.

i'm still able to send to aol at present.  i signed it.
