Subject: Stop the sneak attack on our free and open internet
Dear Friend,
Senators who put the interests of big corporations before their constituents are trying to push through a measure that would give phone and cable corporations complete control over the Internet.
The net neutrality regulations passed by the FCC last December were incredibly disappointing -- weak enough that they barely warranted the name "net neutrality." And now the big telecom companies are working to kill even these perfunctory rules to ensure we maintain some semblance of an open Internet.
If the Senate passes a proposed resolution stripping the FCC of its regulatory power, companies like Verizon and Comcast will have the authority to block our rights to free speech and access to and ability to share information on the internet. We'll lose our last line of defense against an internet run by giant corporations.
I told my senators to take a stand against the complete corporate takeover of the internet and vote against the resolution to nullify the FCC net neutrality regulations. I hope you will too. You can sign the petition at the link below.
