An open letter to congress concerning Net Neutrality
The internet is the last bastion of true freedom for individuals left in the world. In a time when everything else is “freedom with their exceptions”, the internet stands for true freedom and individuality.
Preserving Net Neutrality is the only way to preserve true freedom. To level the playing field for all and to allow each individual person to make their own individual choices about what to read, listen to, view, or contribute.
The corporations that charge users for their connection are already profitable. ‘Usage taxes’ by these corporations is un-american in that we, the people, are not represented by these corporations. They serve their own interests which is precisely why the United States of America declared her independence from an entity that served it’s own interest just over 200 years ago.
How can one promote the fall of Net Neutrality and still declare themselves an American? This goes against the basic ideals behind being an American. Protect this country, and in fact, the world by promoting free speech and preserving Net Neutrality. Vote NO for the dictators who represent their own corporate interests and Vote YES for the vast majority of individuals to have un-fettered access to information and services on the web.

If you, the people, are interested in what the major media corporations are doing to prevent your free and open access to the web, please visit the Net Neutrality website.
Corporations are currently trying to control what you can and cannot view on the web as well as who gets to use their ‘fast lane’ while the rest of us are relegated to their slowest traffic lanes. You pay to use their connection… why should the places you visit have to pay as well? What if your favorite sites are so slow that you are practically required to use the corporations own (more expensive, less open) services?
This is not a doomsday scenario… it is happening now according to the corporations own words. If the USA (free speech, no taxation without representation) can do this and get away with it… what hope is there for countries that are supposedly “not as free as America”? Please visit the Net Neutrality website and stand up for yourself and others.
