The day is almost upon us: A handful of corporate hardliners in the Senate is getting ready to rush through a measure that would give phone and cable companies absolute, unrestricted power over the Internet.

Called a "resolution of disapproval," this measure would destroy existing Net Neutrality protections and strip the FCC of its authority to protect Internet users — letting companies block our right to speak freely, connect with one another and share information on the Internet.

We need just 51 votes in the Senate to stop this free speech-killing measure in its tracks. It’s time for your senators to stand up for online freedom. Please take a moment to tell your senators to defend our Internet rights and stop the resolution of disapproval.

This resolution, S.J. Resolution 6, leaves the door wide open to corporate abuse of free speech. If it passes, phone and cable giants like Comcast and Verizon will be able to restrict access to competitive video services, mobile applications and other innovative services, and no one will be able to stop them.

By rejecting this resolution we can send these corporations and their hard-line allies in Congress a strong, unambiguous message: "The Internet belongs to the people who use it. Don't mess with our right to choose what we do online."

If we can get 51 senators on our side, we will win.

Several corporate-funded front groups and Tea Party extremists have joined forces to push this measure quickly through the Senate, before the public has a chance to respond.

American Internet users need an open Internet that lets us view any content, anywhere. The kind of Internet freedom we’ve enjoyed to date won’t exist if we let big phone and cable companies take a wrecking ball to Net Neutrality.

Sign our letter and we will deliver it to your senators' offices in Washington.

We can defeat this resolution with a massive public response.
