🚨STRATEGY UPDATE🚨
The @FCC is voting to gut #NetNeutrality – but Team Internet has a plan.

We can overturn today’s #FCC vote: We *MUST* convince Congress to use their Congressional Review Act (CRA) powers to #StopTheFCC...
...but it's going to take URGENT action ☎️🙌🚨 via BattleForTheNet.com

There is no question: it will take work from Internet users everywhere.

We’ll have to apply a ton of pressure to Congress in creative ways. With the momentum we have right now we’re not far off...
...Talking about the @FCC's #NetNeutrality repeal, Team Cable cheerleader @MarshaBlackburn admitted this morning:

"Those are going to be removed today."

Now we *MUST* overturn this terrible FCC decision...

In the past few weeks, we’ve seen a few things working well. For example:

YOU HAVE DRIVEN OVER A MILLION CALLS TO CONGRESS. THIS IS UNREAL! ☎️

Sheer numbers of phone calls, tweets and emails generated from traffic to BattleForTheNet.com are making a huge difference...
...AND you've convinced 6 Republicans to publicly oppose @AjitPaiFCC's terrible #NetNeutrality plan. This was thought impossible! Convince more to join them:

Text BATTLE to 384-387 right now!

And we add to this incredible momentum...
....by making sure *EVERYONE* know this not a partisan issue:

83% of voters support #NetNeutrality

6 @GOP members of Congress oppose the repeal

Conservatives and civil libertarians are speaking out.

@nardotrealtor supports the current protections...
...and the list goes on.

On Tuesday we did 100,000 phone calls, and 1,000,000 phone calls since July. Before Thanksgiving, 500,000 calls came out of organic traffic, unplanned.

As the @FCC votes, please:

Head to BattleForTheNet.com or text BATTLE to 384-387.

THREAD: At 3pm, the Senate will vote on a resolution to block the FCC’s #NetNeutrality repeal and restore basic protections that prevent companies like Comcast and AT&T from censoring online content, slowing down websites and apps, and charging expensive new fees.
Our work for Internet freedom will continue long after today, but the outcome of this vote will affect the battlefield that we are fighting on for years to come.
This is the most important thing for everyone to understand: we’re facing off with some of the most politically powerful corporations in the world. We’re fighting an uphill battle. But in the big picture, we are winning on #NetNeutrality.

THREAD: There have been a lot of inaccurate reports that the FCC's repeal of #NetNeutrality will officially go into effect next week on April 23rd. That's not true. It's a bit more complicated than that. Ready? Here we go:
Its understandable many journos are confused by this. I's legitimately confusing. The FCC order said it would go into effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, which would have been April 23rd. But, it still has to be approved by the Office of Management & Budget
There was another FCC filing in the Federal Register that would imply the earliest the OMB could approve this (and its worth noting that approval is basically just a technicality) is actually April 27th, but its likely to happen some time after that, possibly even weeks after.
