Net Neutrality gone in 3 weeks? Why aren't we talking about this?

[RealityChik]

Let's put all the salacious chatter to rest for a moment. Only three weeks left to push back on this corporate takeover of OUR internet. Do you really want the likes of Comcast and Verizon dictating what you can and can't access, view, do or say on the Internet?

If only Aaron Schwartz, patron saint of the anti-SOPA blackout, were still with us...

Now that we are again faced with a new flavor of SOPA, perhaps we should ask ourselves, "what would Aaron [Schwartz] do?

3. If we can not fix it does that mean we need to be saying good bye to each other?

Will this lead to controlled texting also? Go back to the next town 5 miles away will be long distance and expensive.

6. On your CELL PHONE DO THE FOLLOWING

First type 50409 then text the word “RESIST”

now wait for the bot to respond and follow the step by step instructions.

Ask congress to stop what Ajit Pai is attempting to do. Put it in simple, plain, respectful English then hit send.

7. No interest in the massive tax heist by the rich either!!! Our media is now all sex sensationalism

to mask the desolation of the working class. The pukes have manipulated the media to deliver message of hate and divisiveness while effectively prosecuting their massive money grab. Our social safety net for everyday Americans is rapidly eroding in a skillful campaign that will leave us helpless to the rule of a narrow super wealthy class. Goodbye Social Security, Medicare, voting rights, public education, clean air and welcome a dystopian future. But let's all focus on who gets accused of touching somebody ass because at the end of the day that is what we need to really worry about since the other problems are incidental in comparison. I need to just stop paying attention since apparently no one seems to be very concerned.

8. The time to do something about it was last year

Repubs have been very clear about wanting g to eliminate NN for many years. Phone calls and emails will do nothing. They have the power, at the moment, and intend to use it.

The next time to do something about it will be next year, take back Congress. And in 2020, the WH. THEN we can put people in and make laws that bring back NN. But only if we fight like hell for this and all the other things the Repubs have taken away. And make sure the Dems we vote in know our passion and anger.
