Free Internet Kinda Matters, eh?

I need to be able to research topics in school. The majority of my research comes from outside sources that would be destroyed if Net Neutrality was not instilled. Also, I talk to people out of the country. I want to keep doing this. Please make us free! Freedom of speech and petition is part of our basic rights as Americans. Please do not start the path of destruction. Thank you.

Ever Gracefully Yours,
Miss Lorraine Stone

((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.))
