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.

We'll make sure they get filed for you. > > Thanks for all that you do-- > > Josh, Candace, Misty and the rest of the Free Press team > [5]freepress.net > > P.S.
