I’m a student in 10th grade at West Boca Raton Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida. I’ve been using the internet since the days of AOL 4.0 (circa 1999) and it, suffice it to say, means a lot to me.

Over the years I’ve joined discussion forums, political groups and have just enjoyed the free speech that the internet provides to me.

When I heard of the telecom companies plans to overhaul how the internet works and how content is delivered, I was shocked and wanted to do whatever I could to make sure the internet stays an open beacon forever.

I’ve preached this basic right that we all take for granted to many people at my school, I’ve even written a class project on the whole issue in a debate paper.

If there is something that can be done to keep the internet a free and public domain, I’m going to do whatever I can to contribute to it. Be it talking to senators, signing petitions, urging people to join a resistance, or emailing the FCC.

Thank you for listening to me, I hope that you guys rule in the nets favor.
