Hey friends, if you live in the USA please read further. If not...well I mean you can but this isn't really for you.
Tomorrow a huge step will be taken in favor of Net Nuetrality. For those who don't know what this is I can explain it simply enough. First, the government will impose taxation on the internet, second sites that frequent more visitors will load faster, and sites with less visitors load slower because of how much they pay our government.
Or in even simpler more relatable terms.
Facebook loads in milliseconds
Dragon Ball Awakening loads in twenty-thirty seconds if we are lucky
This is absurd, and the FCC is really doing well in pushing it through. Its time to speak out against this. We have representatives who fight against unjust taxation, hell its what we fought for in our revolutionary war. Don't just let them get away with this. Below is a link that has done almost all the work for you. Sign the petition, call your representative (They give you the number and a script of what to say!!!) I cannot stress enough how important this is.
It is possible that free access sites (Like, well proboards) could be forced to charge a small fee for access in order to maintain operations in the U.S. Lets stop this insanity, please make your voices heard! This is important, and time sensitive. Call tonight, call in the morning. Do it now! Do not wait.
Now! Now! Now!
Do you get it? Now!

Edit: Net neutrality is what we are supporting. After rereading this it almost sounds like I am implying that neutrality is a bad thing. No, we want that. We don't want broadband providers picking and choosing which sites load faster, and the government heavily taxing our internet.
