> Dear Robert,
>
> The FCC's proposed Internet rules are out -- and they're terrible.
>
> As we feared, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is pushing a plan that would allow
> rampant discrimination online. If approved, these rules would mean the end
> of Net Neutrality.
>
> But not all is lost. The FCC has opened up a formal comment period for us
> to weigh in on its proposal. This is our chance to tell the agency what we
> think of its plan to allow a corporate takeover of the Internet.
>
> [2]Tell the FCC to throw out its rules and reclassify Internet service
> providers as common carriers. This is the ONLY way to protect real Net
> Neutrality.
>
> Chairman Wheeler's plan would let ISPs like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon
> create a two-tiered Internet, with fast lanes for those who can afford the
> extra fees -- and a slow dirt road for the rest of us.
>
> These companies would have the power to pick winners and losers online and
> discriminate against online content and applications. And no one would be
> able to do anything about it.
>
> But we have a way to fight back: We can use this comment period to tell
> the FCC what we think of its plan. We've [3]created a simple way for you
> to tell Wheeler and his colleagues -- in your own words -- why they must
> reject these rules and instead move to protect real Net Neutrality.
>
> The tide of opposition to the FCC's proposal is rising. Millions of
> activists and hundreds of organizations and companies have spoken out
> against this plan. If more of us speak up, we can get rid of these rules
> and protect Net Neutrality for good. [4]Please take a moment to send your
> comments now. We'll make sure they get filed for you.
>
> Thanks for all that you do--

> P.S. This spring and summer we're ramping up on the organizing front to
> save Net Neutrality. [6]Please chip in $10 (or more!) to help support our
> work. Thank you!
