Dear Friends
Comcast, AT&T and Verizon have given us a glimpse of a world without Internet freedom, and it's a chilling sight.
In recent months, these companies have been caught blocking, filtering and spying on your Internet activities. This month we have a chance to stop them from rolling back our online freedoms. In a rare move, all five FCC commissioners are coming to California to hear from you.
WHAT: Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet
WHEN: Thursday, April 17th
TIME: 12:00pm to 7:00pm
WHERE: Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University
(471 Lagunita Drive, Palo Alto, CA)
For the latest information, visit: www.savetheinternet.com/=stanford
The question before us is simple: Will we have a closed Internet controlled by a small handful of giant corporations, or an open Internet controlled by the people who use it? The FCC hearing is one of our best chances to tell Washington policymakers that the Internet must remain open. Help us spread the word about this important event.
At the FCC's first hearing in Boston, Comcast was caught paying seat-fillers to pack the room and keep out the public (we have the proof). Now is the chance for us to fill the room with real people who care about innovation, competition, free speech and civil rights online.
Please attend the hearing to take a stand against companies that want to control the future of the Internet. Make your voice heard. Join us on April 17!
See you there!
