I have to give him kudos for responding - though I am not naive enough to think he sent a personal response... or that he had anything to do with sending the response. I AM concerned that this means that there are very few people actually contacting the FCC about this issue." "There is very little that is more sacred to a robust democratic society than the free exchange of ideas and information. In the US today, our broadcast and print news media is owned by a mere handful of people. This, in and of itself, is wrong. Please do not compound that error by giving another handful of people the means by which to stifle communications and creativity through control of the internet. Strong voices for good are not always well funded and those who need to hear words of encouragement and knowledge most are seldom those with the means to pay to find them. Public schools and libraries are underfunded in much of the country and these are the access points for many people who do not have any other means to access the internet. Putting content behind corporate pay-walls will further erode the ability of these institutions to meet the needs of those people. In rural areas where we continue to fight to provide even the most basic access to the internet, allowing corporate entities to provide faster access to those who can pay more means many of those who cannot pay more simply cannot access content at all. This is not a free market issue. Further, the FCC is not supposed to be an advocate for corporate entities, but for the people of our country. There is nothing good to be gained by taking this action. It will not increase jobs, it will not increase access to information so people might create their own jobs, it will not promote economic growth. All it will do is decrease access to internet content for a great deal of our population, decrease competition, siphon more money from the poorer to the richer, and one more foundation of our democratic society will have been demolished." "How to bring net neutrality back from the dead" by Cannonfire: Contact the Commissioners via E-mail Chairman Tom Wheeler: Tom.Wheeler@... Commissioner Mignon Clyburn: Mignon.Clyburn@... Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel: Jessica.Rosenworcel@... Commissioner Ajit Pai: Ajit.Pai@... Commissioner Michael O’Rielly: Mike.O’Rielly@... To call and contact commissioner’s offices, call 1-888-225-5322. In addition, call your elected representatives. Tell them if net neutrality is ended, you will hold them accountable by withholding your vote. Both parties hope to control the senate after the mid-term elections, so you have more power than usual to let them know they are losing your vote if they fail to take action to stop the FCC proposal. The number for Congress is 202-224-3121. There's also a petition. http://www.popularresistance.org/internet-for-the-wealthy/ http://www.popularresistance.org/internet-for-the-wealthy/
