The FCC just proposed new Net Neutrality rules, bringing us closer
than ever before to securing an open Internet.
But the closer we get, the more money phone and cable companies
spend to derail our efforts.
To keep the FCC from caving to this intense pressure and failing
to pass a strong rule, Free Press is organizing a massive public
mobilization for Net Neutrality. We need your help to do it.
Can you contribute $10 to protect Net
Neutrality?<http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=XPVNVp3pq6ywXtnppzQYvQ..>
Get this: There are more phone and cable lobbyists roaming Capitol
Hill than there are members of Congress. Imagine the personal
attention our lawmakers are getting from the phone and cable industry.
For every telco lobbyist, there are hundreds of thousands of people
who support Net Neutrality. Your gift today will ensure that our
lawmakers hear from these people -- including you -- not just from
the special interests.
Well use your contribution to:
* Rally 2 million Net Neutrality supporters to contact the FCC
and Congress;
* Research the facts on Net Neutrality and file detailed comments
with the FCC, debunking bogus industry arguments, and making sure
the FCC sticks to the facts;
* Push back against industry spin in the media and on the Hill;
* Lobby members of Congress to co-sponsor new Net Neutrality
legislation;
* Compile a database that lets activists track their lawmakers
stance on Net Neutrality; and
* Use social networks, viral videos and new online tools to connect
activists to one another and spread the word that the public needs
Net Neutrality.
If we raise $100,000, a generous supporter will donate a matching
$100,000 -- but only if we meet our fundraising goal (were nearly
halfway there).

Net Neutrality supports everything we care about, from organizing
for social causes online, to creating and sharing our own music and
videos without permission from entertainment execs, to reading and
producing news that offers alternative viewpoints.
Todays FCC action is just the beginning of the final chapter in our
fight for Net Neutrality. The industry pressure will only increase.
Please, donate today and help us win. Its now or never.
With thanks,
Josh Silver Executive Director Free Press

$100,000 matching gift -- and to an open Internet.
