On Monday, the Washington Post reported that FCC Chairman Genachowski was about to cave to pressure from AT & T and Comcast lobbyists and abandon his pledge to protect Net Neutrality.

We've been blown away by the outcry from you and other SavetheInternet.com supporters.

 

You kept the phones ringing off the hook in the FCC chairman's office for days; you called the White House to complain; and nearly 250,000 of you signed your names to our letter demanding that the FCC reclaim its authority under the law and keep corporate gatekeepers from dictating what information we can access online.

 

Our amazing grassroots push was noticed by the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, Reuters and the Washington Post — and you were heard loud and clear at the FCC.

 

Today, Chairman Julius Genachowski blinked. He backed away from the cliff and announced he was moving to implement broadband policies that will preserve the open Internet and promote universal access.

This decision was an epic loss for AT & T and Comcast and their multi-million dollar lobbyists — but a solid victory for the rest of us, including the more than 1.9 million Americans who've demanded that Washington take a stand for Net Neutrality.

 

But we can't rest until the rules are finalized, the ink is dry, and the FCC has done everything to protect Internet users.

 

Chairman Genachowski just announced that the FCC will take the summer to weigh a Title II option that will support Net Neutrality rules.

 

While Comcast and AT & T may be licking their wounds today, tomorrow they'll be unleashing their lobbyists and smear merchants in an effort to strangle Net Neutrality.

 

Our next steps are crucial. As this issue comes to a head at the FCC over the next few months, we'll need to keep up public pressure on the FCC, lobby members of Congress and continue to debunk the industry lies about Net Neutrality and reclassification. And we'll be counting on you to step up again if Chairman Genachowski starts to waffle on protecting the open Internet.

Those are the stakes. Now we're in for the long haul. Can you take a couple minutes and do three things for Net Neutrality?

1. Donate $10 to the Free Press Action Fund; 2. Check out our new timeline illustrating the history of this fight;3. Help us reach 2 million for Net Neutrality — we're so close and just a few more signatures from your friends could push us over the top.

In an age when corporations can spend limitless sums to influence policy and sway election outcomes, the public must stand together in defense of the only open communications platform we have left.

 

Thank you!
