Speak up before January 14 to save the Internet. Dear Friend, Who do you want to decide which websites you can visit or what Internet content you can access — you or a big telecom company? That’s what the fight about network neutrality is all about. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet users, not Internet service providers, should be in control. If you support net neutrality, now’s the time to speak out. The Federal Communications Commission has proposed net neutrality rules that will ensure that the Internet is free from blocking, censorship and discrimination by powerful telecom companies. And the FCC has opened up a public comment period to get feedback on the proposed rules — but only until this Thursday (January 14)! We need you to speak up because the telecoms are fighting these rules tooth-and-nail. Their pushback began even before the rules were announced. Eighteen Senators (all Republicans) sent a letter to the FCC opposing net neutrality. One Republican senator even announced an effort to prevent the FCC from spending funds to enforce the new rules once they go into effect. Separately, 72 House Democrats sent their own letter to the FCC opposing net neutrality rules. This type of pressure from Congress hasn’t go unnoticed at the FCC, so now’s the time for citizens like you to speak out and fight back. Without strong net neutrality rules, we might have to rely upon the good will of large telecoms to protect our access to the diversity of political perspectives. We might have to trust companies like Comcast, which actively and secretly interfered with users’ ability to access popular video, photo and music sharing applications; AT&T, which censored anti-Bush comments made by Pearl Jam’s lead singer during a concert; and Verizon Wireless, which interfered with NARAL Pro-Choice America’s ability to send text messages to its members. We can’t let the corporate lobbyists win. What good is free speech if powerful corporations have the power to stifle communications they find objectionable? Thank you for working to build a better world. Matt Lockshin, Campaign Manager |
