Yeah, it's kinda bad. I'm really hopeful that John Oliver's video will help explain to everyone that Net Neutrality being tampered with is a terrible thing and that we need to collectively Prevent Cable Company Fuckery.
So please, everyone reading this, visit http://www.FCC.gov/comments and make your voice heard about this issue. Don't let the lobbyists in government and the Cable Companies win. We will not stand for our Internet being cannibalized and cable-ized, so we need to make our voices heard. Thanks! :)

I didn't have a conversation with him - my Dad did as it was 2am my time when he had a chance to speak with him.
Rubio basically doesn't think the government should be involved in as many things as it is right now. He agrees with the goals of Net Neutrality, but apparently Obama wants to open up control of the Internet to International Regulation, and anything that's not AMERICA is immediately off the table for Republicans. :/

URGENT! Rep. Blackburn from Virginia just snuck in an amendment to HR 5016 that is going for a vote TODAY in Congress that would prevent the FCC from allowing cities to create their own ISPs so that companies like Comcast and TimeWarner can buy out entire cities.
This amendment completely strips away the FCC's power (even more than it already has been) and could prevent Net Neutrality from ever being achieved.
CALL your congressperson through the links here, where BoingBoing explains what's going on.

So he's fighting federal interference by implementing federal restrictions? Makes sense.

The EFF link on that page, found HERE allows you to get connected to your representative via a phone call just by entering in your phone number - the EFF does all the legwork and phones them for you so you don't have to wait in a queue.
I just called my rep and her assistant was very receptive to the problem.
PLEASE CALL IN AND LET YOUR REP KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. There's even a script for you! :)
