"The rally, organized by MoveOn.org Political Action and Free Press, will pressure President Obama to live up to his promise to defend Net Neutrality, currently under threat by a proposal, from an FCC chair appointed by the president, that would divide the Internet into fast lanes for wealthy corporations and slow lanes for the rest of us."
