🚨 YOUR MONEY ALERT: Senator Tillis Just Voted to Make Your Internet $30/Month More Expensive – Here’s What You Need to Do NOW 🚨
Look, I know you’re busy, but this one hits your wallet today. That $30/month discount keeping your family online? Senator Thom Tillis just helped kill it.
In a move that has consumer advocates fuming, Tillis sided with telecom giants to let the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) expire. That means starting next month, 23 million American households – including thousands right here in North Carolina – will see their internet bills jump by $30 to $75 every single month.
What does this mean for your daily life?
- For a family of four: That’s a $360 extra expense this year. That’s school supplies, gas, or holiday gifts gone.
- For students and remote workers: Without that discount, millions risk losing their only connection to homework, job applications, and telehealth appointments. This isn’t a luxury – it’s a lifeline.
The real story the senator isn’t telling you:
- Internet companies are posting record profits. They don’t need this money.
- Tillis received over $300,000 in campaign donations from telecom PACs last cycle. Coincidence? Consumer groups say it’s a textbook case of putting donors before families.
- There is $6 billion still available for this program. Tillis helped block a vote to extend it.
What you can do RIGHT NOW:
- Check your bill today. If you were on ACP, your provider is likely not required to tell you before the price hike hits.
- Call Senator Tillis’ office. (202) 224-6342. Tell him your household can’t afford this. The phones are ringing off the hook – make yours one
