Net Neutrality = Free, Unbiased Speech

When I heard that cable or phone comapnies wanted to be gatekeepers of the internet, I found myself getting angry. Isn't it enough to have TV and Phone controlled by these companies? Now they want the internest just so that they can fill their pockets with the ability to give you "quicker" internet service.

I love being able to look at any website I want without having to fork over more money than I have to in order to get internet access. 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.

By doing this, you'll ensure people in the USA look for internet service through other countries. If people who don't have madical insurance go to Canada to get it, what make you think they can't do the same with the internet. Would you prefer other countries getting our money for a service we can continue to receive without establishing this ridiculous notion of gatekeepers? Please block them from controlling the internet unlawfully and reinstate Net Neutrality. Thank you.
