Daryl,
I haven't followed the net neutrality legislation, but this was from 
March 08, verbatim:

"A new bill has been introduced in U.S. House that would
stop Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from controlling what you
can and cannot do online.

"In order to stop Internet blocking and censorship once and
for all. Please take the time to fill out the information
below and push submit, this will automatically send it to
your members of Congress.

"Goggle has appeared to make an agreement with Comcast and
ATT in order to be able to get emails through to their clients.
If you setup a free email acct at gmail.com you should be
able to still email these domains."
