Dear Aris, Bad news. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals just struck down the Federal Communications Commissions Open Internet (net neutrality) rules that guarantee free speech online. The upshot of the decision is that Internet Service Providers like Verizon and Comcast now have permission to censor access to the sites and services you rely on every day. This absolutely cannot stand -- sign our petition today! This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. Broadband may become like cable television -- with popular sites like Facebook and Netflix in higher-priced tiers. Fortunately, the FCC can fix this mess -- today. The courts ruling allows the FCC to write strong new rules that will withstand legal challenge and protect Internet users. Join us today in calling on the FCC to get it right this time. Sign our petition to the FCC today and tell them to protect the Open Internet!
