 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may be on the verge of a huge
mistake that would hand over the internet to the 1%.

On May 15, the FCC will consider a rule that would create a new
"pay-to-play" fast lane which would allow big corporations to pay an extra
fee to get their content prioritized to users. Independent, grassroots
sites like Daily Kos would be left to suffer in an internet slow lane.

Please, sign the petition to save net neutrality by urging the FCC to
scrap their horrible "pay-to-play" proposal.

Let's be clear-this isn't about better service of streaming video or
faster broadband speeds. This is about broadband providers being able to
create another way to make additional profit from charging more for access
to the internet without any new investment to expand service or speed.

This would lead to more corporate sponsorship and control over the
internet, which would lead to grassroots, independent sites-like Daily
Kos-being relegated to the slow lane.

This goes against everything that is great about the internet. Please sign
the petition to save net neutrality by urging the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to scrap this horrible proposal.

Keep fighting,
