<P class=body>First Comcast blocked the Internet; then it blocked the public from its right to be heard. What’s next?
<P class=body>As you know, the FCC held a public hearing in Cambridge last Monday regarding Comcast's blocking of Internet traffic. Comcast had the audacity to flood the meeting room with paid seat-fillers -- shutting out more than 100 people who took time off from work and school to be there.
<P class=body>Why would Comcast stack the room? To prevent real people -- like you and me -- from attending the hearing and raising our voices about Comcast’s outrageous actions. Have no doubt:
This is just the beginning. And it’s up to people like us to stop them. <P class=body>That’s why SavetheInternet.com -- the coalition organized by Free Press -- needs to build the strongest possible war chest to fight for a free and open Internet. Will you help us raise the first $50,000 by contributing $30, $60, $100 or even more right now?
<P class=body align=center><STRONG><A href="http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=aG1SVFQqCiAitTRdXYnumg..">Support the SavetheInternet.com Coalition</A></STRONG>
<P class=body>Comcast is the nation’s largest cable TV operator and second-largest Internet service provider. They’re one of a small handful of would-be Internet “gatekeepers” who have the potential to radically redefine what the Internet means.
<P class=body>They want to transform the Internet from a free and open frontier into a tightly restricted corporate profit stream. We can’t let them succeed.
<P class=body><STRONG>But we need your help to fight for the public interest </STRONG>at the FCC and in Congress against the mega-companies like Comcast who are already spending millions of dollars on lobbyists and fake grassroots groups to defeat us.
<P class=body>SavetheInternet.com won't stoop to pay “seat fillers” to stack the deck at FCC hearings.
<P class=body>But with your contribution we can organize Internet users into a powerful, vocal force; provide expert research and testimony to Congress and the FCC; expose the bad acts of companies like Comcast; and make sure the public hears about what these companies are doing.
<P class=body align=center><A href="http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=Rb9uj4y8m0TBRlaSlZ4gAw.."><STRONG>We Need Your Help. Support SavetheInternet.com Today.</STRONG></A><STRONG> </STRONG>
<P class=body>Comcast has billions. We have you. The Internet won’t stay open for long if people like us don’t take action to defend it. Do that right now, by making a personal contribution to SavetheInternet.com today.
<P class=body>Sincerely,
<P class=body>Josh Silver<BR />Executive Director<BR />Free Press<BR /><A href="http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=Z7no4DDX2lK6AuoGvlW9sQ..">http://freepress.net/</A><BR /><A href="http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=xhEtW4Q3ecWnDIDhCYH81w..">SavetheInternet.com</A><BR />
<P class=body>P.S. Watch this video of the Comcast seat-fillers on Monday. They didn’t know why they were occupying seats at an FCC hearing. They just knew that a big company was paying them to do it. Now that you know the truth, help SavetheInternet.com fight back. <A href="http://free.convio.net/site/R?i=pC_xe9AKRcjYqvFHarSuCA..">Make a contribution to preserve Internet freedom today</A>.
