Dear Friends,
We're in a battle to save the Internet as we know it: Thank you for taking a stand.
The cable companies have millions of dollars and armies of lobbyists and public relations firms -- and since they own so much of the communications infrastructure, it's especially easy for them to push their propaganda.
That's why we need to enlist as many people as possible to join this fight, to demand that the FCC to protect the open Internet and restore Net Neutrality right away.
Will you urge your friends to take a stand? You can use the tools below.

Friends-
I just submitted a comment to the Federal Communications Commission in support of Net Neutrality. We only have 36 hours left to stand up for Net Neutrality before the FCC's current comment period closes.
The important email below is from the groups behind the new Battle for the Net website -- it explains how you can take action too.
Please read on and join me in taking a stand!

Thirty six hours to go. That’s how long we have to get pro-Net Neutrality comments submitted to the FCC in front of their first comment period deadline — and save the Internet from the clutches of Comcast, Time Warner, and their ilk.
Let’s make our power clear, by submitting more comments than the FCC’s ever seen before.

We're in a battle to for the Internet as we know it. Net Neutrality guarantees all websites — start-ups, blogs, independent media — an even playing field. It’s essentially the First Amendment of the Internet.
But the cable companies want to gut Net Neutrality to increase their profits: Without Net Neutrality, those corporations can kill websites by relegating them to slow lanes if they don’t pay fees — or if they just don’t like the content they contain.
Many of you have already signed petitions to the FCC or President Obama — and so have literally millions of others. That’s incredible — and it’s had a huge impact. But now we all need to go one step further and submit formal comments into the FCC’s Net Neutrality proceeding.
It’s really quick and easy, and carries way more weight than the usual petition signature does. You’ll be a formal part of the process.
Click here to submit a formal comment to the FCC before the end of this comment period — it’s over TOMORROW:
Originally the FCC was poised to undermine Net Neutrality all together. Because we all pushed back, now they’re considering adopting rules that would save it.
But they’ll only do so if we speak out again, even louder.
We can make a huge statement: We have a chance of submitting more comments than the FCC has ever received on an issue before.
The cable companies have millions of dollars and armies of lobbyists and public relations firms -- and since they own so much of the communications infrastructure, it's especially easy for them to push their propaganda.
But we have millions of people on our side — and our only chance of beating the cable companies is if we all take a stand, together.

Thanks!
