Internet is Good for Families!

I have many professional and personal reasons for advocating and fighting for Net Neutrality. Above all, the internet has enabled me to stay better connected with family and friends. As our demographics change, as families are separated by geography (for work, study, etc.), it is more important than ever for us to be able to stay connected through the internet. My kids in El Paso can stay in touch with their grandparents and great-aunts and great-grandmother in Chicago, their cousins in L.A. and New York, and other relatives in Florida, San Francisco and Seattle.

The Internet is good for families!!! We will not let corporations take that away from us!

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.
