Please don't sell out to big business!

Our government continues to sell off public interest to private corporations in the form of favorable legislation and subsidies. Now our free internet is at risk. Since the FCC removed Net Neutrality 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. Please remember you are part of a government BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE, not a government to sell off favors to big business under the guise of "public protection."
