<p class="MsoNormal">From the American Library Association take action page.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FCC voted to gut the net neutrality protections that limit the power of Internet Service Providers – like Verizon and Comcast – to slow websites, block mobile apps, or in any
way control the information we access. This 3-2 vote to roll back strong, enforceable net neutrality protections was made amid widespread protests, millions of public comments and overwhelming opposition from across the political spectrum. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Modern libraries rely on the internet to collect, create and disseminate essential online information and services to the public. Strong, enforceable net neutrality rules, like
the ones Chairman Pai just rushed to dismantle, are critical to keeping the internet working the way it does now. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Congressional Review Act gives Congress the ability and authority to nullify the FCC's actions. Congress can and should vote to restore net neutrality and protect the free and
open internet. Contact your members of Congress today and ask them to use a Resolution of Disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the FCC's disturbing rulemaking. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Go to the page now and tell Congress to Restore Net Neutrality:
