<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Dear Jenifer,</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
Just after more than 30,000 of you spoke out about Google and Verizon's
plans to undermine the open Internet, the details became clear. It's
worse than we thought.<sup>1</sup></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
As our friends at MoveOn put it, <b>the Google/Verizon plan would
"create two separate, unequal sections of the Internet — one for big
business that would be high-speed and exclusive, and then the inferior,
slow 'public Internet' that would be available to you and me."</b></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
The Google-Verizon proposal kills net neutrality while claiming to
protect it — and worse, the companies want this proposal to become law.
This is unacceptable. <b>The FCC must act now — it's their job to
write rules governing the Internet, not the corporations they're
supposed to be regulating. Tell the FCC to reject this bad deal and
enact strong net neutrality protections now:</b></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
<a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

http://www.colorofchange.org/googlefcc/?id=2143-1141418</a></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
The deal between Google and Verizon may be great for their bottom line,
but it's terrible for everyday Americans. It calls for the creation of
a "public internet" — which would remain open — and a "private
internet," which would not. The faster "private internet" would choke
the life out of the "public internet," leaving those who can't afford
to pay to have their content or applications run with faster service
struggling to keep up.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
Worse, this deal would leave the Internet without any meaningful
safeguards. If a broadband provider decided to break the few rules
there are, the proposed fines are too low to deter providers from
violating them.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
This is what happens when big corporations get to write the rules that
govern them: they win and the public loses. Speak out to demand that
the FCC put strong net neutrality rules in place right now:</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
<a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
href="http://act.colorofchange.org/go/352?id=2143-1141418&akid=1545.394109.NR7TdJ&t=3"><font
color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from
"act.colorofchange.org" claiming to be</b></font>
http://www.colorofchange.org/googlefcc/?id=2143-1141418</a></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
Earlier this year, the FCC looked like it was on track to ensure we
could all enjoy strong net neutrality provisions. But a federal lawsuit
forced the FCC to change its plans.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
The FCC can still enforce net neutrality, but it first must revisit a
Bush-era decision to deregulate broadband. By revisiting this decision
and reclassifying broadband as a communication service, the FCC can do
everything it needs to do to protect American consumers. And in fact,
the chair of the FCC, Julius Genachowski, announced his intentions to
do this.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
But he has backed away from this plan under intense pressure from the
telecommunications industry. Our federal regulators need to stop caving
to big business and take a stand for us. <b>The FCC has all the tools
it needs to protect our interests and ensure the Internet remains a
vital engine of information exchange and innovation. Genachowski must
act now, before Google and Verizon's bad idea becomes an even worse
reality.</b></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">
Please join us in calling on the FCC to act immediately to save a free
and open Internet, and when you do, please ask your friends and family
to do the same:</p>
