TELL CONGRESS: WE NEED NET NEUTRALITY MORE THAN EVER
Ajit Pai is lying again, boasting that his efforts to destroy net neutrality
have encouraged ISPs to invest in broadband. In reality, big cable companies
like AT&T and Comcast have slashed billions of dollars from programs that would
provide high-speed Internet access to everyone in America. Now more than ever,
we are in desperate need of broadband to ensure that we all have access to
education, communication, and economic opportunities. Tell Congress: Restore net
neutrality and protect our digital rights!

FIGHT FOR NET NEUTRALITY
Ever since the FCC repealed net neutrality, ISPs like Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile
have been throttling traffic "pretty much everywhere all the time." Worse yet,
federal courts have refused to overturn the FCC's disastrous decision, leaving
us with few options to restore freedom online.
Our last hope? Win net neutrality at the state level. This will show the federal
government that the majority of Americans demand a free and open Internet,
pressuring our lawmakers to enshrine net neutrality into national law once and
for all. We've already won in California, and we're going to win in other
states, too. But we need your support, now more than ever.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Speak out on social media. Here are some suggestions you can use to spread
the word. And be sure to share our awesome graphics to get the word out.
2. Tell everyone to text WATCH to 687-88. They can set a reminder to watch the
hearing and pressure their members of Congress to pass a clean bill from
their smartphone.
SAVE THE INTERNET ACT OF 2019
In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the Open Internet
Order to protect Internet users from ISPs throttling traffic, censoring content,
and imposing unfair fees. But just a few years later, a new chairman of the FCC
killed net neutrality by repealing the Open Internet order. It's clear that we
can't count on unelected bureaucrats to consistently defend our online freedoms,
and we can't rely on the courts to overrule disastrous policy decisions, either.
We need strong legislation to protect net neutrality for as long as the Internet
exists.
The Save the Internet Act of 2019 is a simple, three-page bill that would
restore the Open Internet Order enshrining net neutrality into law. Plain and
simple. Read it for yourself below, then contact your Congressional lawmakers to
urge them to support this important legislation:
S. 682 - THE SAVE THE INTERNET ACT
A BILL
To restore the open internet order of the Federal Communications Commission.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled,

SEC. 2. RESTORATION OF OPEN INTERNET ORDER.

matter of restoring internet freedom that was adopted by the Commission on
December 14, 2017 (FCC 17–166) shall have no force or effect.
(c) PROHIBITION ON REISSUED RULE OR NEW RULE.—The Commission may not reissue the
Declaratory Ruling, Report and Order, and Order described in subsection (b) in
substantially the same form, or issue a new rule that is substantially the same
as that Declaratory Ruling, Report and Order, and Order, unless the reissued or
new rule is specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
(d) RESTORATION OF REPEALED AND AMENDED REGULATIONS.—The following are restored
as in effect on January 19, 2017:

WHAT IS NET NEUTRALITY? WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Net neutrality is the principle that everyone should have access to websites and
apps, preventing Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon from creating “fast
lanes,” censoring content, throttling traffic and even outright blocking access
to their competitor's products. This principle has guided the world wide web
from the beginning, and has been protected by federal policy under Republican
AND Democrat leadership since the early 2000s.
Unfortunately, Internet providers ignored this policy and even actively sued the
federal government to destroy net neutrality protections … and they won. Their
anti-consumer practices finally convinced the FCC to issue the Open Internet
Order as a last resort in 2015. But under new leadership, the FCC has removed
these regulations, threatening to end the web as we know it. A federal court
ruling has opened up a path for net neutrality laws at the state and national
level, giving open Internet supporters hope that the Save the Internet Act can
enshrine net neutrality into law once and for all.

THEY ARE TEAM CABLE
Team Cable wants to end net neutrality so they can control and tax the Internet.
Team Cable lies about the effects of net neutrality on the free market and
ignores blatant corruption in the regulatory process. If they get their way, we
will all pay more money for worse Internet access. Independent voices will be
stifled. And innovative start-ups will struggle to compete in the online
marketplace.
