Learn about Net Neutrality, why it's important, and how to help fight for Net Neutrality! Visit BattleForTheNet https://www.battleforthenet.com/!
You can support groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU and Free Press who are fighting to keep Net Neutrality:
https://www.eff.org/

Write to your House Representative here and Senators here
Write to the FCC here
Add a comment to the repeal here

You can also use this to help you contact your house and congressional reps. It's easy to use and cuts down on the transaction costs with writing a letter to your reps
Also check this out, which was made by the EFF and is a low transaction cost tool for writing all your reps in one fell swoop.
Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.

I've already signed everything I can and written my congress men and women.

Without net neutrality your internet provider could limit what you can do, where you can go, what you can see. Essentially taking away the freedom of an open internet.

Thank you for making this post Towelie! I'd also like to point out that while this change is being considered only in America many of the big ISP's are based in America so the changes made here will carry over to other countries if it is allowed to happen!

Think of it like this, you know how you pay for access to certain TV Channels? You could have to do the same thing for websites (i.e. Netflix, Hulu, etc.) ON TOP of what you're already paying for subscriptions to those sites as it is!
I enjoy the act of xD-ing, like if you agree

I'd like to also say that while some people might care but not know what they can do / say, simply:

1) Go to http://battleforthenet.com and fill out the form (it has a premade template of something you can say)

2) Try to make it unique and add if your own opinions so that it won't be viewed as just spam

3) You can call congress or the FCC and tell them why Net Neutrality is important to you

4) Share the news to many people as possible so we can get more on board and more to help stop this monstrosity from happening!

You think "internet service providers were not willy nilly blocking traffic and throttling traffic. To the contrary, these were all phantoms that were conjured up by people who wanted the FCC for political reasons to over-regulate the internet" - Ajit Pai. What if I told you this was already happening in other parts of the world where there are no net nuetraltily laws. MEO, an ISP in portuogl is already doing that exact thing. Want youtube, netflix and twich? that will be 5.96$ more a month. O wait you wanted facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, linked in, and pintrest too? Another 5.96$. BUT If you want to use MEO's products they come at no additional cost to you! I don't know about you but that sounds like what Ajit said wouldn't happen https://youtu.be/s1IzN9tst28?t=4m36s. Full package breakdown on MEO's website https://www.meo.pt/internet/internet-movel/telemovel/pacotes-com-telemovel if you don't trust that this is happening today.

I hope everyone can still read this in a month without breaking the bank,

Have a fantastic day!
