First, a very important (and time sensitive) Take Action Tuesday from Americans for Responsible Technology:
Help Make Gigi Sohn an FCC Commissioner!
Here's what ART's campaign says:
We need an FCC Commissioner who knows the issues, but isn't a former telecom lawyer.
We need an FCC Commissioner who knows how the FCC works, but isn’t a former lobbyist for the telecoms.
We need an independent FCC Commissioner, who isn’t hoping for a telecom job when her term is over.
And that’s why we all need Gigi Sohn. Smart. Independent. Compassionate.
The same giant telecoms that created the digital divide and deprived millions of Americans of fiberoptic broadband are now lining up to oppose Sohn's nomination. The last thing they want is an independent commissioner who won't do their bidding, and who will call out the corruption and self-dealing that has left the country far behind in our communications infrastructure.
Can you make two phone calls today to help get Gigi on the FCC?
Please call today! The FCC is supposed to work for the people, not the telecoms. Tell your Senators we need an independent voice on the FCC, not another industry insider!
