| Friend,
ISPs are so afraid of Gigi Sohn breaking the tie at the FCC that Comcast hired a lobbyist to work in D.C. to specifically block her nomination.1 Then, in an audacious move, the company tried to hide it by changing its lobbying-disclosure forms. And Comcast didn’t do that just for laughs: It has a vested interest in maintaining the deadlock at the agency.
Friend, do you want Net Neutrality restored? Do you want affordable high-speed internet? Someone to stop abuses from ISPs like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon? Then Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla need to hear from you. It will take only a couple of minutes! Please call them at (202) 688-0628 and tell them: Hi! I’m calling to urge Sens. Feinstein and Padilla to confirm Gigi Sohn to the Federal Communications Commission as soon as possible. Sens. Feinstein and Padilla are definitely hearing from Comcast, but who they really need to hear from is you. Call (202) 688-0628 and use the script above to urge your senators to confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC without further delay.
Thanks for all that you do—
Heather and the rest of the Free Press Action team

P.S. Without Gigi Sohn to break the deadlock the FCC won’t be able to restore Net Neutrality or take other crucial actions to protect people like you. Use the script above to urge your senators to confirm Sohn to the FCC ASAP. 1. “Comcast Trying to ‘Torpedo” Biden FCC Pick Gigi Sohn, Advocacy Group Says,” Ars Technica, Jan. 13, 2022 |
