If you can’t make it out to see us and sign the petition in Columbia then here is some information so that you can contact your state’s representative. Since there are so many representatives we will only have petitions for South Carolina representatives, sorry for all of you who are out of state. The following link takes you to the House of Representatives’ website, just enter your state and zip code and it will provide you with your representative and their contact information.

The following is a sample of the letter that we are sending to South Carolina’s representatives. Feel free to use this letter to send to your own representative to protect net neutrality.
Dear [Decision Maker],
As one of your constituents, I am writing today to urge action on your part to protect net neutrality once and for all. If the cable and phone companies’ lobbyists are allowed to succeed in absolving net neutrality, millions of Americans will be affected by these companies’ censorship and interference of the Internet. Competition, innovation and entrepreneurship would be severely restrained and freedom of expression inhibited. However, by supporting the passage of the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008 (HR 5353), our basic rights of free speech, communication and freedom from discrimination will be protected. It will ensure that a step in the right direction is taken in protecting net neutrality.
Thank you for your action in this important and urgent matter.
Sincerely,
[Name]

[City, State, Zip]
