Save Net Neutrality before it's too late! We have until June 11t

They change the date to June 11th... Either way, we will lose the protect Net Neutrality gave us. The last vote has not been done yet because not enough people are calling their reps, despite that taking maybe five minutes at most. Call [phone] and say “Dear Congress: I just gave my number to Fight for the Future, who will text me your voting record in the run-up to the next election. Unless you co-sponsor, sign the discharge petition, and vote for a CRA to overturn the FCC net neutrality vote, I will not vote for you.”

I just got this email a minute ago.

What a  selling out piece of shit!

Verizon throttled fire department’s “unlimited” data during Calif. wildfire

Fire dep't had to pay twice as much to lift throttling during wildfire response.

This is like cartoon villainy. What the actual fuck.

“Thanks for saving our lives! We’re going to fuck with your internet!”

Charter lied to me today

I actually don’t know the name of the person who lied to me. I should’ve gotten that.

I’ll try to make this short. I was at WalMart and there were these two Spectrum Charter people trying to sell their internet. They asked me what internet I have and I stopped and said

“I had Spectrum but I dropped it when Net Neutrality was taken away partially thanks to Charter, and switched to Dish.” (Yes I know, but at least they seem to support Net Neutrality... Or at least be neutral towards it.)

The first guy was trying to make sale, thinking that this was about money. The second guy was quiet before finally he said “Net Neutrality never existed.”

Excuse me?

I had to walk away. The two had nothing to do with Net Neutrality being taken away, but one of them just flat out lies to me about Net Neutrality never existing?! I’m glad I switched internet providers! Next time I’ll be sure to record this!

Congress can still save net neutrality

Congress can use a Resolution of Disapproval to overrule the FCC. We have to make them.

There are protests going on throughout America! You can put your zip code and see if there’s any going on soon near you!

Thank you to aaron-angels-amvs for showing me this!

Somebody sent me this. Basically these people are trying to make a decentralized, open network of their own. I dunno how legit this is, but it’s an attempt!

Restore Net Neutrality Protections

We won net neutrality in the Senate and now we're taking this fight to the House. It's up to all of us to reverse the FCC's ruling. Send a message to your representative now.

If you have extra money, you can help here. It’s complete bullshit that they “need” money but what fucking ever I guess!

[weneedtheinternet]

If this blog gets deleted, or you can’t see it any time as of now, know that I did NOT do that, and that your internet provider’s trying to censor me!

Uncovered emails reportedly show FCC made up DDoS claim and lied to reporters to cover it up

According to several emails obtained by Gizmodo this week, the FCC fabricated claims of a DDoS attack that supposedly took down their online comment system following a report by John Oliver on net neutrality. In a series of emails obtained…

We already knew that, but will anyone who can do anything, will?

Aren’t they voting tomorrow too?

Check Your Reps: Who Is Standing Up for Net Neutrality?

You can email your reps to say that you support Net Neutrality, and to vote to stop the repeal on the 11th unless they don’t want your vote.

I have one rep voting in my case and he’s voting “yes” so now I don’t know where to go from there.

[weneedtheinternet]

What's next?

What I’m about to say, I’m saying while having an unbiased opinion. My political views do not matter for Net Neutrality. Remember that when you read what I say about this.

This part scares me the most I think, because people still think that this is a Republican or a Democratic issue, and that you can’t be a ___ and support Net Neutrality.

Cable companies that want to exploit people’s wallets by blocking them from certain sites and slow their internet down unless they pay more figured out that people will get really divided over politics and started spewing key words like “Obama likes this. If you like this you like Obama.”

Even though 86% of people wants Net Neutrality for reasons that should be obvious. And how can this be a Republican or a Democratic issue? It’s the internet! I know for a fact that most people of America wants to have the freedom to say anything without being blocked!

The only reason why Obama happened to have been the one to have Net Neutrality put in place is because the internet as we know it now is fairly new. Comcast just so happen to have tried exploiting people by blocking sites and making people’s internet speed slow on purpose during Obama’s presidency. Obama’s relation to this is coincidental. Any republican president could’ve and probably would’ve done something similar eventually.

But tonight it has been shown that reps seem to think that it IS a biased “Republican or Democratic” issue. The only people who voted for the repeal were republicans and I’m sure it’s purely due to

1. Cable bribes

2 and most importantly: “Obama likes this so we don’t.”

That goes with the Democrats who voted to halt the repeal. “Obama likes this so I have to.”

Which finally gets me to my point: I’m afraid that the same thing will happen. That the Republicans in the house will be like “Well Obama likes this so we don’t.” And I don’t know how to make my voice reach the house like I did the senate. I hope we can at the very least delay the repeal until November right before the elections.

Don’t forget that Ajit Pai used to work for Comcast. He’s doing this for himself, not for any house in particular.

Okay this isn’t really the kind of thing that I would post on this blog, but this comment was too gold NOT to share!

This is a big step in the right direction, but we still need... Well, what the image says.

Edit’:

Remember these “no” names in November

Edit again: I replaced the list to 1. show the “yes” votes, and 2. make people not think that this is a political issue, since the last list showed what house the people who voted “no” is in.

[weneedtheinternet]

So I finally decided to just... Count, (with some distractions that kept on distracting me no matter how many times I started over, so give or take a few I guess) and so far it’s

89 No

201 Yes

And 239 people who claims to be undecided.

For those people undecided especially, you have to tell them that you will vote against them during the next election so they will lose their power and any bribe money they may be getting right now as we speak.

Edit: If they vote against Net Neutrality, I mean. I forgot to mention that.

Share this IMMEDIATELY for Net Neutrality!!

I've got nothing more to say here. Share this like wildfire cuz we have less than 24 hours left. This is NOW or NEVER everyone!

There’s two important links in this that are important to read for Net Neutrality. Don’t forget the two things that I said before,

1. Tell your Reps that you will vote against them if it means that Net Neutrality will come back if they vote against it.

2. Drop your internet provider if you can to speak with your wallet.

Ctrl+F your Rep’s name to see if they’re voting for or against free open internet.

Check Your Reps: Who Is Standing Up for Net Neutrality?

Checking this list out, there seem to be more “Undecided” than there are “Yes” or “No” people. My main fear is that the undecided people will be paid a lot of money from cable companies that are trying to use the internet to milk money from people who needs it to run their business.

On the other hand, we do have a list of all of those “no” voters. Keep telling them that you’re going to be voting them out unless they change their mind. I do not doubt that they will be voted out if they succeed in destroying the internet, and that people who are for the free open internet will work to get it back and win. That’s simply my prediction though. Make sure you have a list of people who are going to vote “No” for Net Neutrality tomorrow.

Also, if you really don’t need the internet for income, I’d suggest that you drop it to tell the cable companies that you refuse to give them money without Net Neutrality. Talk with your wallet and they will have to listen or risk getting bankrupted.

There at least seems to be more “Yes” than “No...” I am basing that purely on the scroll bar.
