Essentially if folks can cut compensation to their ISP by 50% and attach a demand letter, with the reduced pay, on their next bill payment for your ISP to restore net-neutrality at the FCC, we can put economic pressure to restore FCC rules. 

Run the cut in pay for three months. No action... cut compensation to $1 until NN is restored. If one gets a termination notice, then pay the bill and start the protest over on the next monthly cycle.

I know folks may confront some charges en-route. My CenturyLink ISP charges it's bill 30 days in advance and has a $7 "late fee" if the full bill is not paid within 10 days of receiving the bill. On my last 3 month protest i had to fork over $21 extra dollars but i did get numerous contacts from the company asking why and wtf.
Power to the people!

 On Dec. 14th the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) is preparing to dismantle net neutrality which prevents the huge internet service providers' oligopoly from unfairly discriminating against websites it doesn't like and would help lead to the privatization & commercialization of the internet. 
 
 But the grassroots is fighting back! Folks are organizing protests at Verizon stores locations around the country. Verizon, in particular, will make bigly profits from the destruction of net neutrality. In the Oakland-Berkeley area there are 3 Verizon locations, and as of yet, apparently no one is organizing any actions there. We are going to be the laughing stock of the national movement. If you can be a contract for one of these Verizon protests, just go to verizonprotests.com and enter your contact info for the location that you pick! (The details are at the web site). The protests are taking place on (or before) December 7th, so please help out with this just as soon as you can! Me, I'm useless, the 7th is my first wife's birthday (she was born on the 25th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day) and she wants me to take her to Calistoga to view the smoking ruins. And the way I look, I better stick with the partner I have.
 
 Thanks for all you do,
