plan of action - may 10, 2017

God Bless John Oliver

Trump and his sidekick Ajit Pai, the fox who has been put in charge of the FCC chickens, are gunning for NET NEUTRALITY. Net neutrality is the guarantor of freedom, democracy, justice, and opportunity in the modern world. And we know what Trump thinks of THOSE things. The FCC has a spot on its website where you can go to comment on the move to rescind the net neutrality rules; but they have (deliberately? ya think?) made the page almost unfindable. However, no worries - our hero John Oliver has bought the URL www.gofccyourself.com, which links directly to this page.

Action:

1. Go to www.gofccyourself.com. Opposite the name of this measure (nauseatingly named “Restoring Internet Freedom), you’ll see the world “Express.” Click on that, and you’ll be taken to the page where you can leave your comments. Demand that the FCC keep all the existing Title II protections for net neutrality. Or whatever you're inspired to say.
2. Leave  comments as often as you like. In 2014, a similar deluge of comments was instrumental in leading the FCC to institute powerful net neutrality protections.
3. Please share this information with all your friends, in case they don’t already know about it.

Syria

Action:

Call your Senators, asking them to require Trump to comply with the Freedom of Information request submitted by the watchdog group United to Protect Democracy in an effort to discover if Trump’s missile attacks on Syria were legally justified. Senate contact info: www.senate.gov.
