Congress Needs to Hear from You
Call your members of Congress and urge them to stop Pai’s plan
How will this impact me?
Last
week Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai revealed the
anti-net-neutrality proposal his agency is set to vote on December 14th.
These rules are way, way, WAY worse than expected.
If
passed, this would eradicate crucial protections for free speech,
competition, and innovation online. It would be legal for big cable
companies to create fast lanes, to throttle the speeds of competing
websites, or to filter out social media posts they don’t like. This could mean that you pay more for less of the web.
At
this stage of political gamesmanship, Congress holds a powerful sway
over this issue. As constituent outrage grows, they can call on Pai to
stall the vote on these awful rules, and to hold him accountable if he
goes through with it. There’s already been a groundswell of opposition,
but we need to raise the volume even higher so that every elected
official knows how toxic Pai’s plan is.
