Just a few weeks ago The Federal Communications Commission approved strong Net Neutrality protection by reclassifying broadband as a utility. Over four million Americans made their voices heard over the past year in what was the single largest public response to an FCC decision ever!
But now, some members of Congress are trying to pass a bill that would prevent the FCC from defending the Net Neutrality protections we fought so hard for. Many of these politicians have received thousands of dollars in donations from the ISPs (internet service providers) like Comcast and Verison who oppose Net Neutrality.
They're calling the bill the "Internet Freedom Act," which is the opposite of what this bill would actually do.
We showed the FCC how important Net Neutrality is. Now the ball is in our court to show strong support for the FCC’s decision to ensure paid-prioritization, blocking, and throttling are non-existent on the web.
Sign our petition asking Congress to kill the "Internet Freedom Act" and protect Net Neutrality.
Don’t let big-dollar interests drown out and distract from the millions of citizens who made their opinions known. Let’s stand united for an open internet and make sure our Representatives actually represent us.
LETTER TO
U.S. House of Representatives
U.S. Senate
Please promise to vote no on H.R. 1212, the "Internet Freedom Act," which would roll back the FCC's recently passed strong net neutrality rules.
