The aides who take and relay Senators' messages all sounded really glad to hear from me with my comments -
they knew how vital this is! Please call and press * between each office. Takes but a couple of minutes. Jude


When Verizon lawyer-turned-FCC Chair Ajit Pai first announced his plan to kill net neutrality, we told you this would be an all-hands-on-deck effort to save the free and open internet.
You more than answered the call. Thousands of you signed petitions, submitted comments, and called your senators.
Now we're asking you to step up again. We need to make sure senators continue to feel the pressure to denounce and distance themselves from Pai's plan to kill the internet.

Despite Trump giving him a promotion, Ajit Pai still hasn't been confirmed by the Senate as FCC Chair.
If enough senators know their constituents hate the plan to kill net neutrality, they can force Ajit Pai to give up his goal of a corporate-controlled internet – or risk being voted down by the Senate.
Let’s make sure your senators know: A vote to confirm Ajit Pai is a vote to screw up the internet.

from A.Word.A.Day:

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When I invented the web, I didn't have to ask anyone's permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going to end in the USA. ... Democracy depends on freedom of speech. Freedom of connection, with any application, to any party, is the fundamental social basis of the Internet, and, now, the society based on it. Let's see whether the United States is capable of acting according to its important values, or whether it is, as so many people are saying, run by the misguided short-term interest of large corporations. I hope that Congress can protect net neutrality, so I can continue to innovate in the internet space. I want to see the explosion of innovations happening out there on the Web, so diverse and so exciting, continue unabated.
