Dear Friend,

There's only one Democrat in the entire U.S. Congress who doesn't stand
with us on net neutrality: Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.

In fact, she's teamed up with Big Cable’s favorite senator, Republican
Roger Wicker, to work on weak legislation to undermine the Save the
Internet Act, the House-passed bill to restore net neutrality.^1

We can't afford to have Democrats working with Big Cable to block net
neutrality, so Demand Progress is calling out Kyrsten Sinema in her home
state of Arizona.

But we need to raise $7,500 by midnight tonight to meet our funding goals
for the month of July and keep fighting to defend net neutrality. Will you
donate today?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll donate to help save net neutrality and hold Kyrsten Sinema
accountable in her home state of Arizona.

Big Cable has been running rampant over our internet since the repeal of
net neutrality took place, throttling speeds and creating de facto paid
prioritization with their fake unlimited plans that aren’t really
unlimited at all.

In just the past year alone:^2

* Sprint throttled traffic to Skype in order to push customers to its
own video call service.
* AT&T and Verizon have been caught degrading video quality when
customers use “unlimited” plans to stream content outside the
corporations' own video services.
* Comcast throttled speeds on its “unlimited” plan unless people paid
extra for HD content.

Sometimes people's lives are at stake, such as when Verizon throttled
speeds to a California fire department during a wildfire in order to force
the department into paying higher rates.^3

But we're fighting back. We got the Save the Internet Act through the
House, clean and unamended. And soon  a federal court will hand down a
ruling on the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality that could completely change
the game by throwing out Ajit Pai’s repeal of net neutrality.

We're too close to victory to allow a Democrat like Kyrsten Sinema to
stand in the way.

Unfortunately, we're behind on our fundraising goals for the month, so we
might have to make tough choices about cutting back on key campaign
actions that we need to hold Sen. Sinema accountable and defend net
neutrality.

[ [link removed] ]Will you rush a donation to Demand Progress to pass the Save the
Internet Act and defend net neutrality?

Thanks for standing with us.

Robert Cruickshank,
Demand Progress
