What ever is left is of FREE SPEECH

Net Neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America. Since the FCC removed this basic protection in 2005, the top executives of phone and cable companies have stated their intention to become the Internet's gatekeepers and to discriminate against Web sites that don't pay their added tolls.

This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it. It would damage my ability to connect with others, share information and participate in our 21st century democracy and economy. The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination.

With our basic Rights being constantly eroded by an overly zealous executive, and the Congress evenly divided, the concern for the continued guarantees of Our Freedom of Speech is foremost in the minds of all thoughtful Americans. No private sector entity should ever have the right to abridge the Rights that the Constitution has enshrined. Bad enough that Public governmental entities see fit to ignore the rights of the People. Have we become like Communist China, fearful of its own People's right to communicate?
