FCC: You have the power to restore net neutrality!
Three judges just dismantled the open Internet by deciding that big companies should be able to determine what we see online.
They struck down “Net Neutrality” – the principle that no corporation or state authority can censor, slow down, block, or privilege certain content on the web. It's the basis for what has made the Internet a place for creativity, free speech, and innovation.
The FCC, however, has the power to protect Net Neutrality – if they classify broadband as a communications service, they’ll have the power to reinstate Net Neutrality rules, so let's get them to take the power back now!

Why is this important?
Without Net Neutrality, the very startups that make the Internet a force of innovation will be throttled – unable to compete with incumbent businesses that can pay to provide their access faster than any startup could.
