Make a call today

Right now, the FCC is convening closed-door meetings with a few massive corporations to cut a deal to eviscerate net neutrality protections.

This is deplorable. FCC Chair Julius Genachowski has pledged to protect an open Internet. He has all the authority he needs to take action to protect American consumers, and he has the backing of Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership of the House and Senate to stand up for net neutrality. The only thing Genachowski seems to lack is the will to actually do so.

Call him today and tell him not cave on net neutrality.
The deal under consideration would let broadband providers build priority access reserved only for the largest companies that can afford to pay the toll. AT&T and Comcast would be allowed to favor their own video services, voice applications and social media. Verizon would be allowed to insulate itself from competition by upstart innovators that want to show consumers how things can be done better and more cheaply.

A free and open Internet is an important part of 21st Century democracy. We can't let the Information Superhighway turn into a toll road simply because the Chair of the FCC doesn't want to ruffle the feathers of the telecom industry.

Call Genachowski today and tell him not to cave on net neutrality. Let's give him the spine to end the backroom deal-making that endangers the Internet's future, and live up to his promises to protect the public.

Thank you for working to preserve a free and open Internet.
