URGENT.
We’re urging everyone on our platform today (maybe you’ve seen the popup) to take action to support net neutrality. Comcast, Verizon and AT&T want to end net neutrality so they can control what people see and do online. They want to gut FCC rules, and then pass bad legislation that allows extra fees, throttling and censorship. But Congress can put a stop to all of this. Write Congress first, then call Congress, then Break the Internet.
To win, we need to bring more members of Congress onto "Team Internet"—especially Republicans. Republican members of Congress face massive pressure from party leadership to oppose Net Neutrality, partly because of lobbying by Team Cable, and partly because they see it as "Obama era" policy. But Net Neutrality predates Obama, has always been a design principle of the Internet, and does not need to be a partisan issue. Some Republicans are open to the need for rules, but they won't break ranks from party leaders unless they hear from constituents. Tweets are surprisingly effective—and you should still call too.
Do a good deed today and make some noise. The entire Ello team will be calling, and posting, and screaming into the void right along with you.
And now for some Ello updates.
