BREAKING: Minutes ago, the FCC passed new rules -- written by corporations --
that will end Net Neutrality, putting companies like Netflix in danger of being
blocked by companies like Comcast. For the first time in history, the U.S.
government approved corporate censorship of the Internet, putting the future of
online free speech at risk. Unbelievably, the person leading the charge was
Obama appointee Julius Genachowski.
This violates President Obama's campaign promise to protect Net Neutrality, but
some media are reporting the corporate spin that this is a "Net Neutrality
compromise." It's not -- there's no such thing as half a First Amendment. We
need to set the record straight.

promise, allows corporate censorship - no Net Neutrality rules. 3 things to
know: bit.ly/eVKyWH @WhiteHouse

By sharing, you can help us spread the top 3 reasons the rules passed today are
a giveaway to big corporations and break Obama's promise:
1. They enshrine different rules for wired and wireless Internet --
allowing
big corporations to censor on your mobile phone
2. They allow corporations to set up tollbooths online, stifling new
innovators
like the next YouTube who can't pay the fees the old, crusty corporations can
pay
3. For the first time, they embrace a "public Internet" for regular
people vs.
a "private Internet" with all the new innovations for corporations who pay more
-- ending the Internet as we know it
A more detailed explanation is here. Please pass this email to your friends so
they know not to believe the corporate spin.

Thanks for being a bold progressive,
