Just when you thought they couldn't stoop any lower, Comcast stole
your seat! Now we need your help to fight back.

As you know, at an FCC hearing in Cambridge last Monday designed to
get to the bottom of Comcast's Internet blocking, Comcast had
the audacity to flood the meeting room with paid seat-fillers --
shutting out more than 100 people who took time off from work and
school to be there.

Why would Comcast stack the room? To prevent real people -- like you
and me -- from attending the hearing and raising our voices about
Comcast's outrageous actions.

This is just one more reason why we must restore Net Neutrality as the
law of the land. And why SavetheInternet.com (the coalition organized
by Free Press to fight for an open Internet) needs your contribution.
Will you contribute $30, $60, $100 or even more to keep the Internet
free and open for all of us?

Comcast is the nation's largest cable TV operator and
second-largest Internet service provider. They're one of a small
handful of would-be Internet "gatekeepers" who have the
potential to radically redefine what the Internet means.

They want to transform the Internet from a free and open frontier into
a tightly restricted corporate profit stream. We can't let them
succeed.

But we need your help to fight for the public interest at the FCC and
in Congress against the mega-companies like Comcast who are already
spending millions of dollars on lobbyists and fake grassroots groups
to defeat us.

SavetheInternet.com won't stoop to pay "seat fillers" to
stack the deck at FCC hearings.

But with your contribution we can organize Internet users into a
powerful, vocal force; provide expert research and testimony to
Congress and the FCC; expose the bad acts of companies like Comcast;
and make sure the public hears about what these companies are doing.

We Need Your Help. Support SavetheInternet.com Today.

P.S. Watch this video of the Comcast seat-fillers on Monday. They
didn't know why they were occupying seats at an FCC hearing.
They just knew that a big company was paying them to do it. Now that
you know the truth, help SavetheInternet.com fight back. Make a
contribution to preserve Internet freedom today.
