It is not too late. You can still protect the open Internet and our economy. Fortunately, the rules were struck down on a technicality. To fix it, President Obama just needs to pressure the FCC to re-classify the Internet as the "telecommunications service" that it is. The President can fix this without Congress and without the courts.

Public pressure can overcome industry pressure. That's a tough road, but there's no alternative. If you want your Internet to look like your cable TV service, where you have no control over what comes into your house or what you pay for it, then stay silent. If not, start writing letters and emails to your elected representatives and the FCC now. It's the only hope to save the free, open Internet.
