Description
DOWNLOAD AND REPOST AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!!Buried in the holiday season the FCC is voting on repealing Net Neutrality on the 14th of December.
If you are in America. Speak up for your right not to pay for free speech. Say something so that small businesses won’t have to pay to have a chance online and millions will lose their jobs. Say something for the free informations at your fingertips. Speak up for your weird hobbies and those who have nowhere else to turn but online.
They will not take it all away in one swell swoop. They will "just" have the right to.
And so they will slowly make you pay for more and more.
What you can do
Verizon Store Protests on December 7
At Verizon stores USAwide on December 7, one week before the vote, activists will meet at 5 p.m. local time to put pressure on Congress and demand a change. Pai used to work on Verizon’s legal team, so the choice of store is intended to “[shine] light on the corruption” and expose Pai’s conflict of interest. Events are planned across the country, including Indianapolis, New York and San Francisco, but other cities are welcome to organize their own and add it to the list. The site says the protest s “will be quick, fun, and 100% legal.”
On December 13, the day before the vote , a team of organizers called “Defend Net Neutrality” have planned a protest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a venue as-yet undecided.

Supposing we do sign the petition, it is up to a small group in the FCC to listen to us. What if they just ignore it all and pass it anyways? They've done this quite a few times of not passing it before, but there's no guarantee they'd listen to reason and just stop altogether. And quite frankly it's getting annoying they keep trying to do this, especially when there's a chance the govt would shut down that week.

this protects the middle class on the US and keeps this as a Utility aka we dont pay for shit, the internet is free for all, but the FCC has a corporate adgenda, aka they are gonna kill the middle class and all small jobs, INCLUDING Deviantart, you wont be able to do shit without paying an extra fee of either $5 EVERY TIME you log on or a higher more costly number that steals money from middle class citizens

Yeah, neither did they say "Donald Trump won't become President." Support was needed when SOPA threatened the Internet, and we need support now.

THEN, KEEP FUCKING SCREAMING INTO THOSE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS TO THE FCC UNTIL THEY FUCKING LISTEN! THIS WILL AFFECT EVERYONE! EVEN THE GOVERNMENT! THIS WILL BE AMERICA'S UNDOING IF IT PASSES! EVERYTHING WE'VE ALL WORKED SO HARD TO ACHIEVE THROUGHOUT AMERICAN HISTORY WILL BE ALL FOR NAUGHT! ALL OF IT! SO, FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I'M ON YOUR SIDE IN THIS MINDFUCK OF A SHITSTORM, MATE! *calms down* I'm sorry I used all that profanity. If that offended you, I am sincerely sorry, but we all have to unite as one people and stop the FCC from infringing upon our God-given rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution by making us pay more than what we're paying for our Internet access right now! This is about our future, our children's future, and our grandchildren's future! OUR FOUNDING FATHERS HAD TO FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM, AND WE WILL TOO! Now is our time to stop this corrupt FCC from making the biggest mistake of their lives! You rally your friends around this! Make as many calls and write as many emails to the FCC as you can! NET NEUTRALITY CANNOT AND WILL NOT DIE! THIS CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE THE END! AS LONG AS BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH THE VEINS OF EVERY AMERICAN UNDER OUR GREAT NATION'S FLAG, WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP HOPE, AND WHEN THE ACCOUNT OF THE AGES IS PERMANENTLY ETCHED INTO THE COSMOS, LET THOSE WHO EXIST LONG AFTER US KNOW THAT THIS WAS AMERICA'S FINEST HOUR! NOW, GO!

Signed and accounted for! I refuse to allow these corporate parasites make a mockery of free speech! And before people start saying, in their far-right philosophy, "But, by standing up to them, you violate free speech yourself!"
First of all, that's the most dumbassed philosophy I've EVER heard.
Secondly, those who say this aren't looking for free speech, we've already GOT that! No, what people (the schmucks that're running this country especially) are looking for is freedom of consequence. They're flanderizing free speech to include being a racist, self-entitled, and in this case, greedy pricks!
