Don't Kill Our Business

My husband and I are beginning a net based business. Were the large companies to gain the ability to charge extra fees as they wish, we would simply be unable to even start our business. We cannot be alone in this. The internet is the only place left where people like us have even the smallest chance of competing with Big Business in any way. Our business is reliant on advertising and equal search engine results.

Big Business doesn't need any further help; they already have enough and are recording record profits while paying the same wages to their employees that they have been for the last 20 years. It's the average American citizen that needs the government's protection in this unequal David and Goliath competition.

Free Press is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to reform the media. Through education, organizing and advocacy, we promote diverse and independent media ownership, strong public media, quality journalism, and universal access to communications.
