[TriEmbed] Net neutrality comments close today.

Tue Jul 15 12:16:00 CDT 2014

I subscribed to the below mailing list & have sent in comments stating my
position on net neutrality to the FCC. I don't usually get political, but I
see this as directly affecting those of us who use the intertubes
differently than typical users.

I just wanted to be sure people o  thus list knew that there is a comment
period ending today.

Crashing the FCC's website does not mean that there is no need to add your
own comments.

 Hey there,

Just wanted to make sure you saw this. There's been such an overwhelming
response to the FCC's net neutrality proceeding that their website that's
supposed to receive comments has CRASHED.

Incredibly, Internet users are mobilizing and we already have a small group
of volunteers and activists in Washington, DC* who have stepped up to
deliver comments to the FCC *by hand* before the deadline at midnight
tonight and make sure that every single comment gets entered into the
record.*

If you already added your voice, please tell others that there's still a
few hours left to weigh in and keep the Internet free.

Dear Fight for the Future member,

There's just 12 hours left. 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 stop Comcast, Time Warner, Verizon and their ilk from
slowing down and censoring the Internet for profit.

Deadline is tonight! Click here to submit your comments to the FCC right
now.
<http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/oAA/ZgwNAA/7PyEpXYNTRevAsj6vAS6pQ/h4/N4TP83PuCSy3b099M34abzbOV4LkASVn-2Fr3erYm5lIKvQ7i2qaavT-2Bdy5ndKiuo3YaUwqIt30vhhjGRfUsiVIpOlQ4SXFT0lHsplizsxfSY-3D>

We're in a battle to for the Internet as we know it. Net Neutrality
guarantees all websites — start-ups, blogs, independent media, lolcats — an
even playing field.  It’s essentially the First Amendment of the Internet.
It’s what has made it so revolutionary, and it gives all of us a voice.

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. That threatens not only the Internet
that we love, but the very foundations of a free society.

*Take action here, it's easy: http://battleforthenet.com

Cable companies are spending millions of lobbying dollars in an attempt to
drown out the overwhelming cry of the public who are demanding that the FCC
protect the Internet. Our best shot at winning this is to strike hard right
now and flood the FCC with more comments than they’ve ever gotten before
(even more than Janet Jackson). We are so close to that goal already that
if everyone reading this takes action, we’ll hit it by the end of the day.

We made submitting an official comment to the FCC as easy as signing a
petition. Click here to speak up for net neutrality before the July 15th
deadline!
<http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/oAA/ZgwNAA/7PyEpXYNTRevAsj6vAS6pQ/h6/N4TP83PuCSy3b099M34abzbOV4LkASVn-2Fr3erYm5lIKvQ7i2qaavT-2Bdy5ndKiuo3YaUwqIt30vhhjGRfUsiVIpOlQ4SXFT0lHsplizsxfSY-3D>

Many of you have already signed petitions to the FCC  — and so have
literally millions of others.  That’s incredible — and it’s had a huge
impact. But the ISP monopolies are pouring money into DC to try to buy the
FCC's complicity. To win this, 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.
<http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/oAA/ZgwNAA/7PyEpXYNTRevAsj6vAS6pQ/h7/N4TP83PuCSy3b099M34abzbOV4LkASVn-2Fr3erYm5lIKvQ7i2qaavT-2Bdy5ndKiuo3YaUwqIt30vhhjGRfUsiVIpOlQ4SXFT0lHsplizsxfSY-3D>

Just a few months ago, FCC was poised to undermine Net Neutrality all
together.  Because we all pushed back, now they’re considering adopting
rules that would save it, and protect the web for the long term.

But they’ll only do so if we speak out again, even louder.

The cable companies have 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.

Click here to visit our brand new website and send the FCC a formal comment
demanding support for Net Neutrality.  It’ll only take a minute.
<http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/oAA/ZgwNAA/7PyEpXYNTRevAsj6vAS6pQ/h8/N4TP83PuCSy3b099M34abzbOV4LkASVn-2Fr3erYm5lIKvQ7i2qaavT-2Bdy5ndKiuo3YaUwqIt30vhhjGRfUsiVIpOlQ4SXFT0lHsplizsxfSY-3D>

With urgency and appreciation,

The Fight for the Future team

-Tiffiniy, Holmes, Evan, Kevin, Vasjen, Jessica, and Jeff

P.S. While it’s essential that we bombard the FCC with comments before the
deadline tomorrow, we’re still going to have to keep the pressure on all
summer, and ratchet it up even further when the decision time comes in the
Fall. Want to help us win the battle for the net? Please chip in $10 (or
whatever you can afford) today.
