PLEASE preserve net neutrality & online free speech, before fast approaching deadline

[Jude Iam]

Hey, this is outrageous. Someone has been flooding the FCC with completely fake comments against net neutrality -- using real people’s names and addresses without their permission. [1]
The news about the fake comments has been widely reported -- but incredibly Verizon-lawyer turned FCC Chairman Ajit Pai says that he has no plans to stop the flood of fake comments, and will consider them as if they were real. [2]
This FCC is clearly owned and operated by the giant cable companies that it is supposed to be protecting us from.
We need to overwhelm them with a massive influx of REAL comments from real people, demanding that they preserve net neutrality and online free speech, before the fast approaching deadline.
More than two million comments have already been submitted to the FCC, and if you remove the comments that appear to be fake, more than 97% of the remaining comments support keeping the Title II based net neutrality protections that we have now.
Team Cable and their astroturf groups are trying to paint these rules as “oppressive government regulation,” but that’s just not the case. [3] People from across the political spectrum support these rules precisely because they’re so simple and clear:

• No blocking (no censorship)
• No throttling (no slowing down apps or sites)
• No paid prioritization (no charging extra fees to reach an audience)
  
  Net neutrality makes the Internet awesome. We can’t let the FCC take it away. Sign here!

We have just weeks left before the FCC’s final vote. We need to sound the alarm right now.
