* * * Act by June 15th: Save The Internet

[Guest guest]

For a long time, there were Net Neutrality rules in place at the FCC. But

last summer those rules expired, and now major telecom companies are lobbying to

stop their renewal. These companies want to create a " two-lane " information

highway, where their own content (and that of businesses that pay steep fees)

would reach people quickly via a " fast lane, " and other content (like blogs

and nonprofit or small business websites) would be stuck in a " slow lane. "

 

Before the FCC decides whether or not to renew Net Neutrality rules, it has

to take public comments -- but the comment period closes on June 15th! Can

you take a moment to join me in speaking up?

 

Urge the FCC to protect the freedom of the Internet at

Some of America's wealthiest corporations are investing millions of dollars

in their efforts to block Net Neutrality. People like you and I need to take

this chance to tell the FCC that the Internet must be a democratic, open

medium. That's what it was always meant to be.

 

If the telecom companies get their way, it could spell the end of free

expression and innovation on the Internet.

 

Send a message to the FCC before the June 15th deadline at

Thanks for taking action to keep the Internet open to all!
