Please Stop the Commercialization of America!

I ask you, is money really what the government values most? Are you truly spokesmen for the corporations who turned children of the nineties into adults who care more about Paris Hilton than the death toll in Iraq? Look at the quality of programming from the television networks today; that is the internet's future if these billion dollar companies have their way. Do you share their goal in dumbing down American society and strengthening their bottom line?

Do you care at all about the thousands of internet businesses which will not be able to compete as the bottleneck sqeezes them out of public view?

Will you uphold freedom of information, freedom of access, and freedom of speech?

I've asked a lot of questions. Your decision will answer them. Please don't turn over to the jackals another part of the public domain you swore to protect.
