Time To Contact Congress

If you live in the United State please visit the “Battle for the Internet” website and send an email to your congress members to have them help protect net neutrality. Their website has a easy to use contact form that automatically detects your congress members. Simply sign your name and hit the send button to let them know how you feel about net neutrality.

We’ve all come to expect the worst from Comcast and their ilk, but this is just over the top.

Last week, media reports exposed the fact that thousands “anti-net neutrality” emails sent to lawmakers came from a shadowy Koch-funded group that’s now being accused of “identity theft” for sending emails from people who had never signed up to oppose net neutrality.

If you think that’s bad, just wait. This morning, the New York times revealed that Comcast has been calling in favors from the many politicians, think tanks, and organizations that they “generously” donate to. Basically they’re bribing politicians and groups to send letters to Congress and the FCC in favor of Comcast’s takeover of Time Warner Cable. It even looks like they straight up wrote Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel’s letter for him.

Money talks, and we know that Congress and the FCC will be hearing from all of Comcast’s well-paid friends. The only way to fight this is to make sure that the decision makers hear from hundreds of thousands of REAL people like you right now.
