Net Neutrality

Big telecoms would like to inspect and filter the Internet content you

access, block Web sites and applications they don’t like, and overcharge

you for using the Web. But the net neutrality rules proposed by the

Federal Communications Commission would prevent them from doing that.

The public comment period for these rules ends on Thursday, and the phone

and cable companies and their phony front groups have already flooded the

FCC with comments objecting to net neutrality.

We need you to speak up because there has been an all-out lobbying effort

by the telecommunications industry to kill net neutrality. Even before the

FCC proposed their rules, 18 Senators (all Republicans) sent a letter to

the FCC opposing net neutrality. One Republican senator even announced an

effort to prevent the FCC from spending funds to enforce the new rules

once they go into effect. Separately, 72 House Democrats sent their own

letter to the FCC opposing net neutrality rules.

I just wrote a personal letter to the FCC explaining why I support net

neutrality. Please join me by clicking on the link below before the

comment period ends on January 14.
