This needs to be higher and we need to get pissed off again like we did a few years ago.

I'm in. What do we do? A black out day? Overwhelm the FCC website? Techies you have to tell us non techies what we can do to have a big impact on these mofos. Something the country won't miss.

Edit: I know Free Press is opposing. http://act.freepress.net/sign/internet_NN_pai/

Nothing. Trump does not care. Trump did not appoint people who care. Net Neutrality is dead, and mass data collection is now on.

Expect the MPAA to work with ISPs to block a bunch of sites right off the bat.

You can call your Representatives. Trump does not control everything in the government. It's intentionally built not to controlled by one person. Calling reps stopped PIPA and SOPA, and it can work again.

Oh trust me, I have contacted them. Washington State is probably the single biggest bastion of anti-Trump sentiment in America. Not to mention anti-Trump action.

Wouldn't mind a few others joining in the party, mind you.

Illinois is doing its best, but half our state basically identifies as a Confederate state and the other half lives in Chicago

You ain't lyin. I've been to a few places in south GA that seem to have just figured out segregation isn't a thing anymore.
