Tell Congress: Keep the Internet Open for Everyone! Support "Net Neutrality" & Send an Email Now! PUNISH COMCAST,BE A HERO,SUPERHERO,POWER OF PINK


SavetheInternet.com bannerBE A HERO! Keep our internet FREE for everyone by supporting "Net Neutrality." It only takes 1 MINUTE to "be a hero" and click on the link below & send an email to your representative. The FCC has already punished COMCAST for their efforts in blocking YOU from the internet. Congress now needs to hear from YOU, to know that you support their efforts. Internet freedom is something we've taken forgranted for many years... lets not have our freedom taken from us because we were too lazy (or too busy surfing the web!) to speak up and fight for our rights!








Letters to Congress are pouring in, but has your Congressperson heard from you yet?

Last Friday, the FCC ruled to punish Comcast for violating Net Neutrality and blocking Internet traffic. Since then, tens of thousands of people have urged their lawmakers to ensure that Net Neutrality is protected on all 21st-century networks.

This is a huge victory, but our work is not done. Follow this link to send your letter:

More information about this historic victory can be found in the e-mail we sent out last week. Or you can visit the SavetheInternet.com blog for the latest news and information.

Thanks for helping to protect Internet freedom,

Dear Friend,








The FCC just voted to punish Comcast for violating Net Neutrality

Join the Open Internet Movement



Your hard work is paying off! Just one hour ago, the Federal Communications Commission voted to punish Comcast for violating Net Neutrality and blocking your right to do what you want on the Internet.

This win is yours. Defying every ounce of conventional wisdom in Washington, activists, bloggers, consumer advocates and everyday people have taken on a major corporation and won.

Today's vote at the FCC is also a precedent-setting victory that sends a powerful message to phone and cable companies that blocking access to the Internet will not be tolerated from this time forward.

News of this win is now being covered by every major news outlet as a turning point for Net Neutrality. Many more people are discovering our people-powered movement for a free and open Internet.

We need to capitalize on this momentum to grow the movement and ensure that Net Neutrality is protected on all 21st-century networks. Help us send a message to this Congress -- and the next one:

Join the Internet Freedom Movement: Stand Up and Be Counted

In the past two years, more than 1.6 million of you have already contacted Congress and the FCC. But that's not all. You have sacrificed time and energy speaking out at town meetings, collecting signatures on street corners and on campuses, and spreading the word via blogs, Facebook and house parties.

With your help today, signing this letter and forwarding it to friends, we can increase our ranks to more than 2 million.

Today's FCC victory is a milestone, but our work is far from done. Companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon are continuing to fight Net Neutrality using lobbyists, lawyers and campaign contributions. These special interests should not be allowed to set Internet policy for the nation.

Tell Congress: Keep the Internet Open for Everyone

The Internet's true greatness lies in those of us who use its level playing field to challenge the status quo, create and share new ideas, take part in our democracy and connect with others around the world -- without permission from any gatekeepers.

With your help and commitment, today's win will be just the first of many to protect innovation, free speech and democracy on the Internet.

Thank you!
