| Friend,
“Dead on arrival,” Sen. McConnell told reporters about the Save The Internet Act.1
Oh yeah?
That’s the same thing we were told in 2014 when the FCC was waffling on Net Neutrality.
That’s the same thing we were told last year when the Senate was considering the Net Neutrality CRA.
And just like then, we know better than to let Team Cable intimidate us.
Help us prove Team Cable wrong and deliver another grassroots miracle by passing the Save The Internet Act in the Senate: Chip in $5 to fuel the fight.
How do we make another miracle? We get BUSY: - We’re organizing Net Neutrality Heroes, a team of badass activists spreading the word in their communities across the country.
- We drive calls, petition signatures, and in-person visits to the offices of senators, especially those on the fence and in tight election races.
- We amplify the voices of those most impacted, especially communities of color, queer folks, religious minorities, veterans, small business owners and students.
- We let lawmakers know that NOVEMBER IS COMING; we won’t forget their cruelty if they fail us on this bill.
Turn up the heat on the Senate: Donate $5 or whatever you can now to supercharge the grassroots fight to pass the Save the Internet Act.
The phone and cable industry has given at least $101 million2 to sitting members of Congress and their PACs over the past 30 years. Comcast alone made $94 billion in revenue last year.3 In other words, they make our whole annual budget every 30 minutes.
Free Press Action refuses to take money from business, government or political parties. We’ve won plenty of battles on pure people power, and we ain’t stopping now.
Dear Mitch McConnell: You’ve built a career on ignoring the will of the people. But you can’t ignore Team Internet.
Use your donation to send a message to McConnell: GAME ON.
Thanks for all that you do,
Collette, Candace, Carrie and the rest of the Free Press Action team

P.S. Sen. McConnell and other lawmakers on Team Cable think they can scare us. But we aren’t afraid; we’re fired up. Pitch in $10 — or whatever you can — to help win the fight for real Net Neutrality.
