Public Knowledge: How to support Net Neutrality Rules


The House of Representatives is gearing up to vote on an Appropriations bill, a must-pass piece of funding legislation, as early as next week.  Unfortunately, some members of Congress are using this to yet again try and attack the FCC's recent landmark net neutrality decision, by attaching a number of sneaky riders deep in the bill that would defund the FCC's use of the new rules to protect consumers from ISP abuse.
The public clearly demanded strong net neutrality rules leading up to the FCC passing the rules in February. Now it's time to let the Commissioners do their job. However, these extra provisions in the bill are just retaliation that will prevent the FCC from enforcing the strong net neutrality rules we fought so hard for, and from protecting the open Internet.

We are hopeful that net neutrality advocates in Congress will take a stand and remove these harmful provisions, but we need your help. Contact your representatives here and tell them to strike down the language in the bill that will prevent the FCC from enforcing net neutrality.
