Together, we can petition President Trump to veto S.J.Res.34. A bill that will allow ISPs to sell our internet data (location, history, financial, and etc).
We can stop this using the most effective method possible outlined below.
1. Contact President Trump via the following methods (Use all of them):
a. https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
1. Message Type: Contact the President
2. What would you like to say?:
President Donald J. Trump, I urge you to veto S.J.Res.34, a bill that will allow ISPs to sell our internet data (location, history, financial, and etc) without our permission.
Sincerely,
[Full Name]
[Citizen/Resident] of the United States of America
2. Call the President
a. Comments: 202-456-1111
1. Repeat message in "What would you like to say?" and replace "Sincerely" with "Thank you very much" and forego the end identifier.
3. Write a letter to the President
Here are a few simple things you can do to make sure your message gets to the White House as quickly as possible.
If you write a letter, please consider typing it on an 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheet of paper. If you hand-write your letter, please consider using pen and writing as neatly as possible.
Please include your return address on your letter as well as your envelope. If you have an email address, please consider including that as well.
And finally, be sure to include the full address of the White House to make sure your message gets to us as quickly and directly as possible:
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500"

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Oh you're serious
LauriMaijala
From an outsider's point of view you guys should really be more interested in him destroying the whole planet than targeted marketing.
YouCantKillTheMetal
If you think Trump is on your side, you haven't been paying attention.
currentresidentz
Bless your heart, OP.
WhyCannotWeBeFriends
Done! Thank u
ReaLifeSmeagol
I think you have mistaken us for having a President who gives a shit.
Alex00322
If you think Trump gives two shits about anything anyone thinks. You're as dumb as the people that voted for him in the first place.
itsameeeee
At this rate you are going to need another boston tea party

Dear dickless oompa loompa ..stop being a fucking retard. -sincerely your mom .....is that good enough?
msu14hockey
You left out the most effective methods to reach him: 1) Fox and Friends and 2) Twitter.
IEatPussyLikeFatKidEatsCake
You deserve way more Upvotes. +1
hillywut
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Good luck.
soultarr
If you think Trump will listen to a petition you haven’t been paying attention.
mericanidiocracy
Hahahahahahahaha
CrouchingNarwal
I doubt he's gonna veto it but I'd love to be wrong on this one.
bestboobs
Lol Trump going against corporate interests? yall cute as fuck.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Republicans*
Buckbeak1486
As worthy as this is... Let's be sane. That fucking fucktard ain't going to veto that! He literally only cares about himself and money.
Rifneno
You forgot Putin.
Buckbeak1486
Yea, I did. My bad!
emkev
Do you think Trump gives a fuck about you?
yahiko48
No, but we sure as hell won't give up without a fight.
chrishallett83
Protip: Be a billionaire, otherwise HE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU OR YOUR RIGHTS.
TheNovaflyer
Let's see, all but 5 republicans voted for this to pass, do you really think he's going to?
76Tromboners
actually all but 15.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Because they knew their votes wouldn't be needed, just in swing states and didn't have to vote for it.
wwny
He'll never veto it. But if you want to even the odds, make sure your message says "Obama would have signed it."
thesameasyours2
like he will ever listen to his constituents
LukeRDavis
Never give up hope. Always push!
MasterPrime
Yeah it's not gonna work. Trump might be the cause of the revolution we kinda need so maybe work on that instead.
batteryforeverlow
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. If you still don't succeed, give up. There's no sense being a damn fool about it.
xiuke
As if Donald ever gave a fuck what US citizens want.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Republicans*
xiuke
Wonder, who was downvoting you. Republican voters? As a non-US person, republicans have never been created to act in interest of normal ppl.
CuntingtonFuckley
Google and facebook got everyone to hand over their privacy anyway.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Everything the right claims to stand for go out the f'n window when republicans are violating it. Privacy? yeah, we don't care anymore.
SpruceCaboose
See, but that's how you pay them. I pay my ISP a fucking hundred dollars a month for the privilege of having them fuck me over. 1/2
SpruceCaboose
Google provides me a service for "free". I pay for it with advertising potential and that's fine. They also have far less information. 2/2
gtmiller
Yes, but that was consented via electronic agreement. Accepted legality. This could be seen as an encroachment on the 9th amendment.
CuntingtonFuckley
Oh i know it is different, but people really have no idea what they willingly hand over to Google and facebook.
gtmiller
Not to mention it puts personal data and electronic accounts at risk and lowers the digital security of the nation.
Naiirita
No because you agreed to the a TOS agreement with your ISP. Just like with Google and facebook.
MathiasTolerain
The probability of Trump vetoing this even with letter writing is right up there with the probability of me shitting a live Wooly Mammoth.
jhs2595
So an everyday occurrence, then.
srslysterling
Trump veto something that fucks normal people over for the benefit of big business? Yeah, okay.
Neyxx
Well wouldn't that make trump the good guy "again" a people's president and all. Maybe it's all a elaborate Rep.-Plan to make him look Good!
Neyxx

MisterGunpowder
Appeal to his narcissism. Say that these are the same republicans that dropped his health care bill, even though that's inaccurate.
MisterGunpowder
We'll see how far it gets past him.
KarlMoebius
Nah, you should put that on Fox news. Better chance of him actually paying attention to it.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Why should he when republicans won't.
rubbarz
Because they didnt vote for his healthcare bill so it might be payback if he doesnt. He would do something petty like that.
veyrall
This is the most hopeful thing about politics right now and that's fucking sad.
SpruceCaboose
You would hope that the fuck looks at his 36% approval and wants to change it, but we all know he's just pretending its fake.
TeddiyBear
I feel like we should also be mass tweeting at him, he seems to spend a lot of time there
tokenslifematters
How about instead of bitching online. This Trump BS is just beating a dead horse. We get it, you guys elected a fuckhead. Now instead of (1)
pussyface
This seems like the best way to go
tokenslifematters
(2) sitting behind your keyboards.. where ironically your comments and profile will soon be public.. go out and do something about it
MadMontyMN
Make me, fuckwit.
nijlonkai
There is literally nothing else we can do but waste our lives picketing. What else do you expect?
tokenslifematters
I've seen some pretty powerful shit happen in Egypt and Ukraine. Band together as a nation and prove your patriotism
HarryHamwallet
My question is where is anonymous in all this? They seem to be all talk, start hacking/leaking congress secrets already
nijlonkai
I wondered that a lot.
SoberAndBored
Let's see.... the good of the people or profit for his friends. Hmm.
chaoslordjiro
If he does it, it will be to punish the Republicans for not passing his "Healthcare" bill.
DorthLous
Republicans sullied his image over Healthcare. Do not underestimate a man's pride...
ExcuseMe2
Yes, it was their fault...right...poor Trump!
Bukkhockey
I wonder if he has any friends...
Xathraphor
Most anyone will be a friend for enough money or power. I'd call his "friends" modern Dr. Faustus's, but they lack the brains.
KoalaManDamn
More like people he owes favors to.
HerelnDuckburg
its funny how everyone on the internet shits on him and now is pleaing to him for his help.

FoxDancerStudios
Fuck that. I'll contact Congress and Senate. Dog shit is more useful than him.
0100100001100101011011000110110001101111
Well it's too bad they caused this.
FoxDancerStudios
My state reps are amazing about listening to our wants and needs as a state. I'm confident they will do all they can
yourbassist
A little late for that.
LukeRDavis
WallpaperProblems
Isn't that his job to hear what the people want to do, in the end he is the President of all Americans and he works for Americans.
HerelnDuckburg
I'm not talking about his job. Im talking about the irony of people who mock him wanting his help now...
JediMasterMurdock
Right, it's the irony that you're enjoying, not your false feeling of superiority. Put your ego aside and tell Trump to veto this bill.
SleepyWalrus
people mock him because he is a bad leader, this would be his second redeeming act I'd hear from him so far(first one was hindering the TTP)
HerelnDuckburg
Hes been president for 4 months and has by far done more than a majority of presidents in that amount of time
WallpaperProblems
Well you can criticize your President all you want but he is still your president and he works for the people. Ignoring like 60% of the pop
WallpaperProblems
Would be wrong.
ActualSkeleton
Yeah, odd how we want him to work FOR the public, it's almost as if we elected him to do just that
HerelnDuckburg
Oh you voted for him
ConductorOfTheStruggleTrain
ActualSkeleton
We as in the United States elected him
HerelnDuckburg
Oh, you voted for him?
BeckyLookAtHerButt
This is crucial. I find it unfathomable that this bill passed.
TheRealArclight
really?...with the congress ruled by the right...i am afraid this shit has just begun...
memberwar
* was crucial. Russia gets to buy every dissident's info now. What makes you think he won't sign that?
MonsieurLaPaditte
Just wrote a letter to my district representative (Andy Biggs-AZ), who voted for this. I'll upload his response if I get one
Tunisia
Seriously? Of everything that's happened this administration. *This* is your breaking point?
krapmyself
Your surprized a government owned by big business is doing something to favor corporations at the cost of citizens privacy?
whatisyourspagettipolicyhere
This is bad but what about the whole climate change thing? The imminent destruction of the planet seems slightly more important...
NumNutts
considering the republicans in office.....pretty fathomable.
W92Baj
Why? Your president cares for nothing but his personal wealth and the vast majority of your politicians are bought
Qumefox
He won't veto it. Undoing everything Obama did, good or bad, seems to be the GOP's primary goal right now, and they couldn't kill the ACA.
Qumefox
So they're going for anything else they can.
unclestankstank
Everyone was too busy making fun of House Republicans last week to notice.
BattloidKouji
Elections have consequences. We tried to warn people for the last year that shit like this would happen if we handed over the government (1)
BattloidKouji
to big business republicans, but no one wanted to listen. There is no way in hell Trump will ever veto this bill. (2)
moxymox
Republicans, in unison: "Well, at least there isn't a woman in the white house!"
liamario
Unfortunately, you're 100% right. The fact that this petition exists shows that people still don't realise how fucked they are!
lizardinajar
Be that as it may, I can't just do nothing when this issue is so important to me.
liamario
This petition will do nothing. The time to do something was before trump was elected. Now he's murdering the planet.
LukeRDavis
Republican and Democrat citizens, Americans, do not want this bill signed into law.
trebek007
Since when does what the people want matter?
TheHappyHermit
the only "people" that matter are corporations...
stja
Too bad the citizens have no voice in your government, eh?
memberwar
Bullshit. GOPers are the party of stupid. These people believe anything Trump says; if you got other facts, they're "fake" to them. Cult45
wattietoohottie
Maybe people shouldn't have voted republican, then. They're serious about selling us out for sweet sweet cash
HitlersClonedButthole
We should a voted for neither and put Obama on a month to month till we figured shit out.
NoodleDriver
We should have voted 3rd party and had a REAL upset in politics. We could have done it this year, and it would have been better than this.
moxymox
Shush, you. Republican citizens want whatever Fox tells them to want.
evildrcatfish
Yes, let's further tribalize our society by pretending all Republicans are the same, unlike us Democrats, who are unique and beyond reproach
Porksterbob
Did Democrats vote for this bill?
evildrcatfish
The statement was about citizens, not politicians, was it not?
coronalmassejection
None, zero..

basicwhitelich
All/only the republicans voted for it.
LukeRDavis
Funny, when I become Congressman my plan is to reverse all business subsidies to their scientific research counterpart.
LukeRDavis
For example, instead of subsidies for Solar Power, the money will be redirected to energy research to find new forms of energy and make
LukeRDavis
current forms more efficient.
TheSwedishMoose
Is that not what solar subsidies do? Make solar more economically viable to encourage further research and development?
IAmInAGlassCaseOfEmotion
Why? It's just keeping the status quo and and FTC oversight instead of FCC. If we don't like it, we can opt out. Problem solved.
IAmInAGlassCaseOfEmotion
I did it through Comcast: https://www.xfinity.com/support/internet/opt-out-comcast-ads/
BattloidKouji
after trying it today with cox, it's pretty well hidden on the site, and the chat assistant had NO CLUE what CPNI even was, and was useless.
BattloidKouji
it should be opt-in, not opt-out, they're just counting on no one being able to figure it out. (2)
IAmInAGlassCaseOfEmotion
Yes, that is the debate. And that's probably why ISPs lobbied for this, because most likely no one would opt in and see their ads.
IAmInAGlassCaseOfEmotion
Yes, that's really the only change. The previous rule may have made it more convenient. It's a bit of a pain now, and will be if this passes
BattloidKouji
it's not just "a bit of a pain" they're making it as difficult as possible.

Really? You are surprised a bunch of old dudes don't understand the Internet?

You don't need to understand how to raise sheep to get the concept of fleecing.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Republicans are unbelievable when it comes to making excuses, rationalizing and diverting to defend republican crap.

I'm sure trump watches porn though

Well soon we can just buy his Internet history so we will know
maniacalmacaroni
They understand it just fine, just like they understand that climate change is very real. They're not retarded, they're fucking sellouts.
cyberspork
Or evil
Nurykitty
This.
notme222
Right here on Imgur I asked people to explain to me why it's bad. They said "imagine." I'm not sure anyone of any age understand it.
BattloidKouji
why what is bad? the bill? internet privacy?
notme222
Yup. The repeal of a regulation that has never taken effect. The system we've had for 20+ years. Why is it suddenly panic-worthy?
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
I feel like if you really cared, you'd know. But whereas there were no regulations preventing ISPs from selling our info before /1
BattloidKouji
Because things were about to get better, but now they're not? Why does the fact that they hadn't taken effect yet make any difference?
