It's time. Within 24 hours, the full House of Representatives is expected to vote on whether to protect Internet freedom.Here's an important detail: House members will be voting on a larger law governing our nation's communications policyand the current version of this bill guts Net Neutrality. So we must ask every representative to vote against this proposal unless it is changed with Rep. Ed Markey's amendment to protect Net Neutrality.
CONGRESS IS MESSING AROUND TODAY AND HAVE SEVERAL BILLS - BUT ONLY ONE ASKS FOR REAL NET NEUTRALITY (INTERNET FREEDOM - YO!)

or simply...CALL 202-224-3121 and tell them your Zip Code - And Ask For Your Representative!
SIMPLE HINTS:
1) If the staffer is making a tally of constituent calls, make sure they have a category specifically for "Vote no on the COPE telecom law if it doesn't protect Net Neutrality." Otherwise, your representative may get a diluted message and miss the point.
2) If they ask for more details, you can urge your representative to support Rep. Ed Markey's Net Neutrality amendment. And if that amendment fails, they should vote against the entire bill.
3) If you get a voicemail option, leave a message. They will get it.
Thanks for helping to save the Internet.
Stay Strong!
