If you don’t know why we need net neutrality, just imagine having to pay extra to read all of the non-corporate sites you read, or not being able to download them as quickly as corporate sites … or not being able to get access to them at all.  THAT is what Net Neutrality prevents — and we’re losing federal protection for it!  This is California’s chance to fix it!

Below are the Members of CA State Assembly’s Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee. In today’s hearing, they can restore SB 822 back to its original language and save internet democracy. Please call them TODAY FIRST THING THIS MORNING (vote is today, Tuesday!) 

Just give your name and zip code, and politely (but urgently) ask that the Assemblymembers restore SB 822 to its original language, since Assemblyman Miguel Santiago pulled its teeth out last week:

Update from Vern Tuesday afternoon

The committee members received many calls from all of you.  For now the bill has passed this particular committee WITH the poison amendments, but talks are going on between Committee Chair Chau and bill author Senator Wiener to get them out, however that works.  Wiener does NOT want to see the bill even proceed with the Santiago amendments.
