1. Is there a petition we can sign to save net neutrality ?

I tried the one John Oliver posted and it would not work for me.

If you have a link to a petition I would love to sign it.

4. Thanks.

I signed a petition, sent e-mails, and called.

Most of the mail boxes were full.

I was able to leave a few messages.

I was able to speak to a few of the staff.

2. Mozilla (Firefox) is supporting this, as are Amazon, Kickstarter, Reddit, and others

Ars Technica has some good coverage today as well. As one of their articles proclaims:
"Get the word out. Net neutrality is at a crossroads. Resistance is not futile."

EFF is joining a huge coalition of nonprofits and companies in a day of action standing up for net neutrality.
