FROM FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE:
 We did it! The Internet has changed the rules for what is and isn't possible in Washington, DC, and that's exactly what we're fighting to defend. Time to celebrate! https://battleforthenet.com

FROM AL FRANKEN:
Today’s Net Neutrality ruling marks a huge victory for free speech in America. I want to send a huge thank you to our grassroots team and to everyone that stood to help preserve an open Internet that's been an engine of innovation. - Al
