On Thursday, May 15, hundreds will rally outside the Federal Communications Commission's headquarters in Washington, D.C., to protest Chairman Wheeler's proposal that has the potential to stop the flow of a free and open Internet. On this same day, thousands of activists, organizations and companies will take action online to save the Internet.

The press release specifies that there are activities slated to begin prior to the FCC's May 15 meeting and following adjournment of the subsequent press conference.

    That means you should contact your Congress critter, as those of us that have representation that does the right thing have absolutely no say on all the others that do not. Only if the people they represent speak up can the wrong headed be convinced.

    I intend to, but don't think it matters; wingnuts of both wings are notoriously stubbornly stupid. Also, money talks a lot louder than words and the wingnuts are financed by the uber-rich, the left wing by the likes of Soros and the right wing the likes of the Koches.

    Good luck convincing anyone to reform copyright law or federal marijuana laws, both major parties are in tight lockstep on those issues, as well as many others.
