Stewart,

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski just posted a piece on the Huffington 
Post <http://act2.freepress.net/go/1139?akid=2077.9117198.SSsxPO&t=1>, 
in which he makes the case for his new Net Neutrality proposal — a 
proposal that would make Comcast, Verizon and AT&T proud rulers of the 
Internet, but that leaves the rest of us out in the cold.

Chairman Genachowski's proposed rule would lead to nothing more than 
fake Net Neutrality. Among other things, it would leave wireless 
Internet largely unprotected and open to discrimination, and would open 
the door to "paid prioritization," a scheme where phone and cable create 
toll roads to the Internet where only rich companies get special treatment.

Click here 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/1140?akid=2077.9117198.SSsxPO&t=2> to read 
our analysis of his proposed plan, which falls far short of giving us 
the real Net Neutrality protections we demand.

Please take a minute to read the post 
<http://act2.freepress.net/go/1139?akid=2077.9117198.SSsxPO&t=3> and 
leave a comment. Tell the chairman what /real/ Net Neutrality means, and 
urge him to pass strong rules to protect it.

Thank you,
