From Demand Progress. DONATE to keep alive the campaign described below.
Quote:
Tomorrow (May 15), FCC Commissioner and former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai will formally introduce his plan to kill net neutrality.
That's right. Despite more than 1 million comments and grassroots actions against killing net neutrality —such an enormous outcry that it crashed the FCC's website— he's doing it anyway.
We're launching an emergency campaign to call on members of the House, Senate, and FCC to reject the attack on net neutrality.
Congress could force Pai to back down if we make it undeniable that his plan to kill net neutrality is completely toxic.
The Senate hasn't even voted yet on whether to confirm Pai to his full term as FCC Chair — a sign of just how rushed and radical this whole process is. Pai's plan to kill net neutrality needs to be the top issue in that vote.
The House of Representatives also holds the purse strings for the FCC, and of course the White House could shut Pai's whole plan down if they felt enough pressure.
We need to make sure EVERYONE in Washington, D.C. knows how unpopular Pai's plan really is — and that they will be held accountable if they don't fight to save net neutrality.
To make that happen, we're pulling out all the stops:
— We're flooding Capitol Hill with phone calls against the Trump/Pai plan to kill net neutrality.
— We're helping organize a rally tomorrow at the FCC against this corporate power grab.
— We've organized a massive coalition to drive in 1 million grassroots actions opposing the Trump/Pai plan.
When John Oliver urged people to tell the FCC not to gut net neutrality, so many people took action that he crashed their website.
But Ajit Pai wants to move forward his plan to "take a weed whacker" to net neutrality anyway.
Thanks for standing with us,
Kurt Walters, Demand Progress
