I think it'd be hard for us plain folk to take time off work to do this...

 >    Dear Robert,
 > 
 >    It's working!
 > 
 >    Hundreds of organizations and companies, dozens of members of Congress --
 >    and millions of activists like you -- are making a difference in the fight
 >    to save the Internet.
 > 
 >    Look at what's happened in the last week:
 > 
 >      * People across the country drove thousands of calls and emails to the
 >        FCC and Congress.
 >      * A couple hundred organizations and Internet companies signed letters
 >        urging the agency to do the right thing.
 >      * Dozens of members of Congress slammed the FCC's plan to crush Net
 >        Neutrality.
 >      * Two of Chairman Tom Wheeler's fellow commissioners got in on the
 >        action, raising serious doubts about the proposed rules.
 > 
 >    Here's where you come in.
 > 
 >    The FCC has field offices in 24 U.S. cities, including one near you. Could
 >    you join other Free Press members this Thursday at noon for a lunchtime
 >    action to save the Internet?
 > 
 >    [2]Yes, count me in!
 > 
 >    If people show up at FCC offices across the country, we can send a message
 >    Wheeler won't be able to ignore. That's why we're partnering with our
 >    friends at Demand Progress, Fight for the Future and MoveOn to build the
 >    drumbeat for change.
 > 
 >    The FCC's bad rules -- which only Internet service providers like Comcast
 >    and Verizon like -- need to go. They would allow ISPs to create a
 >    two-tiered Internet, with fast lanes for the handful of companies that can
 >    afford the hefty fees, and a slow dirt road for the rest of us.
 > 
 >    The FCC will vote on whether to advance these new rules this Thursday. Net
 >    Neutrality activists have been camping out in front of the FCC
 >    headquarters in Washington, D.C., since last week, and tomorrow our
 >    movement will come together for a historic day of action.
 > 
 >    Let's bring that same momentum to FCC offices across the country.
 > 
 >    [3]Click here to join the save-the-Internet protest this Thursday at noon
 >    at an FCC office near you.
 > 
 >    We can do this.
 > 
 >    Thanks for all that you do--
