Friends-
I
just submitted a comment to the Federal Communications Commission in
support of Net Neutrality. We only have a few hours left to stand up
for Net Neutrality before the FCC's current comment period closes.
The
important email below is from the groups behind the new Battle for
the Net website -- it explains how you can take action too.
Just
a few hours to go. That’s how long we have to get pro-Net
Neutrality comments submitted to the FCC in front of their first
comment period deadline — and save the Internet from the clutches
of Comcast, Time Warner, and their ilk.
Let’s
make our power clear, by submitting more comments than the FCC’s
ever seen before.

We're
in a battle to for the Internet as we know it. Net Neutrality
guarantees all websites — start-ups, blogs, independent media —
an even playing field. It’s essentially the First Amendment of the
Internet.
But
the cable companies want to gut Net Neutrality to increase their
profits: Without Net Neutrality, those corporations can kill websites
by relegating them to slow lanes if they don’t pay fees — or if
they just don’t like the content they contain.
Many
of you have already signed petitions to the FCC or President Obama —
and so have literally millions of others. That’s incredible — and
it’s had a huge impact. But now we all need to go one step further
and submit formal comments into the FCC’s Net Neutrality
proceeding.
It’s
really quick and easy, and carries way more weight than the usual
petition signature does. You’ll be a formal part of the process.
Click
here to submit a formal comment to the FCC before the end of this
comment period — it’s over TODAY:
Originally
the FCC was poised to undermine Net Neutrality all together. Because
we all pushed back, now they’re considering adopting rules that
would save it.
We
can make a huge statement: We have a chance of submitting more
comments than the FCC has ever received on an issue before.
The
cable companies have millions of dollars and armies of lobbyists and
public relations firms -- and since they own so much of the
communications infrastructure, it's especially easy for them to push
their propaganda.
But
we have millions of people on our side — and our only chance of
beating the cable companies is if we all take a stand, together.
