Countdown to the Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality

I am forwarding this on to any of you that may want to be a part of this activity. Being PRO-Net Neutrality means (as far as I can figure out) that you and I will not be slowed down or queued while Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, etc. etc. etc. let their more profitable customers, like Amazon, Apple, The New York Times, EBay, etc. etc. etc. get the speeds and bandwidth (amount of characters being sent at 1 time) they want to better serve their business customers verses their individual customers (me and you). Net Neutrality says treat all internet users equally and fairly.

We recently opted to get unlimited data on our Verizon smart phones. The first thing that I noticed is that the speed has diminished considerably. As we are in the same park that we stayed in last summer, we had expected to have the same outstanding speeds we had previously enjoyed. Unless Verizon is going up and down the central coast of California removing towers (highly unlikely), Net Neutrality is already impacting our internet experience.

So, yes, we will be participating in the action!
------------------------------

We are just 4 days away from the Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality.
With major sites like Amazon, Netflix, Vimeo, Reddit, and Twitter partnering with us on the Day of Action, we're on track to make this one of the largest online protests in history.
But in order to stop former Verizon lawyer-turned-FCC Chair Ajit Pai's plan to kill net neutrality in its tracks, we need YOU too.

In addition to participating in the Day of Action on July 12, you can help spread the word to your friends and family right now.
Here are some things you can do:
1. Post about it on Facebook. Click here or use of one of these examples.
2. Change your profile picture or avatar. You can download our images here.
3. Tweet to your followers. You can click to tweet here or use some of our sample tweets as a guide here.
4. Email your contacts about it. Here is a sample email you can copy and paste or tweak to suit your audience.
And there's no reason to stop there. If you have a website, blog, vlog, or any other online platform, there are lots of goodies and content samples here to help you get the word out in any way you can.

Help us make a big push this weekend to spread the word about the Day of Action. Post on social media, email your contacts, and talk to your friends and family one-on-one.
We appreciate all you've done for the free and open internet so far, and all you will do. We'll be in touch over the next couple days with updates, reminders, and the best way for you to get engaged on the Day of Action itself.
Thanks for all you do.
For a free and open internet,

Carli, Kurt, Reuben, David, and the whole Demand Progress Team
