Daily Kos petition: thank Obama for standing up for net neutrality

President Obama: FCC should reclassify internet status to preserve net neutrality http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/11/10/1343751/-President-Obama-FCC-should-reclassify-internet-status-to-preserve-net-nbsp-neutrality via @dailykos


Huge news: President Barack Obama has stepped forward to protect the free and open internet.

In no uncertain terms, President Obama joined millions of Americans to call for an open, level playing field to internet access and real net neutrality. He clearly urges the FCC to write rules which cannot lead to sweetheart paid prioritization deals, preferred access, blocking of content, and which outright bans fast and slow lanes on the internet. The president’s statement makes one thing clear—all websites must be treated equally.

Further, he explicitly states the legal authority we’ve been pushing for—Title II of the Telecommunications Act with forbearance. We know this is the strongest legal framework.

This isn’t a total slam dunk—FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler could decide to go rogue and not heed the words of the President, millions of Americans, and dozens of elected officials in order to side with Team Cable—but we are in a good position to win.

We are on our path to victory, and President Obama has joined the fight.

Sign and send the thank you petition to President Obama.

4. This will be just another reason to hate Obama for doing the right thing by his detractors. nt

5. From the standpoint of issues people, it makes perfect sense

--to thank Obama for coming out for net neutrality, and also to tear him a new one for promoting TPP.
