Don't let the net become a 'surpressed sciene'!!

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.

As an I.T. professional, my job requires an unfiltered connection to the web on a daily basis. Filtering and censorship of the internet would definitely disrupt my daily productivity.

I have made so many friends all over the world because of the freedom of the internet. Blogs and websites do not need to be censored for thoughts and opinions. If you are worried about the children, parents, its time to buck up and take responsibility. Children are not accessories like your pet!!

Times and technology change, especially with media. It's time someone lobby's for the people instead of all the big business whining because newspapers, magazines, and television media are loosing ground to the net!!
