not to sound dramatic...but...powerful, dark, forces are trying to make neutrality go away.
if the hill is to be believed, the fbi is investigating the fake bots attempting to influence the fcc:

july 12 might be a good time to inform your friends, social media contacts, etc. of the implications involved.
again, speaking only for myself and not reflecting the opinions of my employer or co-workers.

I’m not seeing any links in your email. Were you pointing ushere? Or maybe here? I find it laughable that the FCC is trying to strip broadband neutrality by relabeling it as “information services”. Big ISP’s seem to have forgotten that the internet would be nothing but a “series of tubes” without the content that society puts onto it. The real information services are librarians that help people make sense of everything that’s out there.

I especially appreciate this quote: “A world in which librarians and other noncommercial enterprises are of necessity limited to the Internet’s “slow lanes” while high-definition movies can obtain preferential treatment seems to us to be overlooking a central priority for a democratic society– the necessity of enabling educators, librarians, and, in fact, all citizens to inform themselves and each other just as much as the major commercial and media interests can inform them.” I’ll be doing what I can next week. I hope you’ll join me. Adam Carlson Circulation Supervisor McMinnville Public Library (503) 435-5556 From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Diedre Conkling

| Hi there, The July 12th Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality is less than a week away. And while momentum continues to build for our movement, Team Cable is fighting dirty. They’ve been spreading lies about our protest in the press, viciously defending their misleading studies, and creating fake astroturf campaigns – all while FCC Chairman (and former Verizon lawyer) Ajit Pai refuses to do anything for the dozens of people who have had fake comments submitted in their name, without their consent. Team Cable is scared of the power and influence we hold when we stand together. That’s why they’re doing everything they can to intimidate us, and muddy the waters. The other side is raising the stakes, but we’re not gonna roll over – not when we’re this close. That’s why we need you to help push this over the edge. Can you share the Internet-wide day of action with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter, or email them the URL battleforthenet.com/july12? And, ICYMI, there are a ton of other ways you can amplify our message: 1. If you run a website, display a prominent alert for the day of action using this code. You just need to embed a bit of javascript in the header of your site, and on July 12 your site will invite users to contact the FCC and Congress. 2. If you’re a video creator, use our 30 second bumper to explain why net neutrality matters. There are square, vertical, and horizontal versions for you to download here. 3. Join the net neutrality “Twitter Brigade” and opt-in to tweet urgent messages at key moments as we build up to July 12. 4. Blog about the day of action. Whether you’re a business or a blogger, tell your followers why net neutrality matters to you, and then send us a link. Feel free to borrow this language. 5. Email all of your contacts. Here’s something you can copy and paste. July 12 is coming up fast, so please, take the next step and do what you can to help make this huge. And, again, you don’t have to wait until July 12 to drive traffic to BattleForTheNet.com to make sure the FCC and Congress get the message. If you’re ready to start now, go for it! So far over 50,000 people and thousands of websites have come together on July 12th to demand strong, enforceable net neutrality rooted in the only legal foundation that can ensure we are protected: Title II of the Communications Act. If net neutrality is lost, your Internet provider will gain new controls over what we see and do online – a move that will stifle your ability to access content, grow your company, reach new audiences, and earn a living. And, to add insult to injury, your Internet bill is guaranteed to go up. I’ve worked on a lot digital rights campaigns over the past five years. And I have to tell you, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. The creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment that our small team has seen from people all over the world has been nothing short of inspiring. At the end of the day, the fight for Internet freedom, is, essentially, the fight for an open society that allows each of us to reach our fullest potential. We think that’s worth fighting for, and we’re glad that you do too. For the Internet, Josh, Evan, Holmes, Tiff, Laila, Joe, Sarah, and the team at Fight for the Future Fight for the Future works to protect your rights in the digital age.
