U.S. citizens and residents have one day left to comment on the FCC's plan to kill net neutrality. Final comments are due tomorrow Wednesday, August 30th, by end-of-day Eastern time (UTC -5).

Once the comment period closes, the FCC is supposed to review the feedback and use it as guidance to revise its proposal. However, it probably won't hurt to also contact your congressional representatives, given the antagonism of the FCC's current leadership towards both the public input and net neutrality itself.

    We haven't forgotten, but please remember that our political system has been corrupted by corporate bri... *ahem* lobbying. The rare times that the people's will has won out have almost always been overridden by some judge / mayor / whatever that was bought off. Paired with a massive centrally controlled propaganda machine (hollywood / mass media) we have a hard time convincing regular people that these issues are important. Until we hit dystopian levels of abuse that affect these regular people more directly we are not going to have enough support to get these changes done.

    So trust me, many many of us yanks realize this.
