Give in on Net Neutrality or we'll shut down the government.

Friend — Comcast's allies in Congress are threatening to shut down the federal government to block Net Neutrality. Will you chip in $5 to help fight back? I'll chip in $5 Comcast's war on Net Neutrality just went nuclear. A key committee in Congress voted yesterday to attach a provision blocking Net Neutrality to a must-pass spending bill that funds the federal government.1 Their implicit threat: Give in on Net Neutrality or we'll shut down the government. This could take the fight for Net Neutrality to a whole new level.Will you chip in $5 to make sure we have the resources to win? Yes, I'll chip in $5 to help save Net Neutrality. Yesterday's committee vote was the first step on the path to shutting down the government to block Net Neutrality—and we need to hold every member of Congress who voted against Net Neutrally accountable. If we can organize a backlash that's loud and clear, we can show Comcast's friends in Congress that they're not going to get away with this. And we're already on our way. As Net Neutrality champ Rep. Jose Serrano said before yesterday's big vote, "We have received more phone calls on this issue than any other issue in a long, long time. And I don't understand why some people can't understand that net neutrality is here, it is here to stay and it is what the American people want." Going forward, we're going to keep flooding Congress with phone calls and making sure that voters in their districts know which representatives are standing with Comcast against the free and open Internet. We also need President Obama to stand strong. We know he was willing to go through a government shutdown to defend Obamacare. Will he fight that hard for Net Neutrality? Because that's what it might take. We didn't know how far Comcast's friends in Congress would be willing to go to block Net Neutrality. Now we have our answer—and it's up to us to show we're up to the challenge. Click here to chip in $5 and help defend Net Neutrality.
