• Leave the Internet Alone
    The internet allows me to get online professional journals, medical updates, health information; join professional health organizations; get job leads; participate in health webinars. Personally, it links me to family and members of my congregation. Most of my peer-friends are elders like me and having this electronic connection--without high costs--is very important in our lives.

  • Elected Officials: It is time to act like you actually care.
    I am about to graduate from school with a degree in videography, and the Internet is my best source of freelance work. This change will make my portfolio website nearly invisible. How am I supposed to find work then?

  • Congress: Don't Pass The Transparent Airfares Act!
    The Transparent Airfares Act of 2014 sounds like much-needed reform for greater consumer protection. It's actually a bait-and-switch to let airlines bury tax spikes in their ticket price.

  • Internet freedom
    As a disabled person, this was my main daily link to the outside world. If my legs hurt too much to get up, my wife can bring her laptop in to me, and I can see what is happening in the world and contact others.

  • Keep the Internet open!
    As an IT Professional, an open Internet is important for my day-to-day work where I research technical issues, often finding answers on free blogs and forums. As a person with fibromyalgia and a spouse to an MS patient, an open Internet is important to me as a medium for support networks and medical articles.

  • Keep the Internet open and free!
    Companies like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and others want to create a closed off Internet with restrictions to websites that they see as a threat to profit. They want to restrict access to knowledge and free information that we all have benefited from and that we all want the next generation to enjoy. I am a child of the Internet age and a free and open Internet has been my access to the world. No other time in history has humanity had access to such knowledge.

  • Net Neutrality Safeguards Equality
    I use the internet to stay up to date on news and stay connected to my friends and family. I also buy things online that I can't get elsewhere. Professionally, I use it to access important educational material for my practical knowledge and to help my patients. Net neutrality is paramount to keeping the internet an equal opportunity medium for accessing information and subsequent empowerment.

  • The Right to Net Neutrality
    An open internet allows world citizens to speak "truth to power." True democracy does not flourish in environments where profit and greed supercede the right to information. Dr. Newell Canfield

  • Preserving Equality on the Internet
    I am also a college student at the University of Southern Maine where a majority of our classes are being transitioned to online classes and where a great number of student live well beyond 2 hours from the campus and have to take online classes. Not having affordable access to the internet would preclude many persons from getting an education.

  • Verizon needs to be shut down
    I use the internet everyday to buy needed items check the news and keep up with current events as television is always so full of other crap like tv ads from Verizon. For Verizon to pull this bs stunt just shows they're greedy their phone service is substandard and they have horrible services. If Verizon gets the chance to screw people up they're showing just how awful they truly are.

  • Keep the Internet as a level field
    The Internet is my way to contact my students, colleagues and research collaborators as well as my sons and their families who live away. Most of the information, news and communications that I receive or send are important and urgent and represent unique opportunities to advance my research and my role as an educator and , in addition, are the glue that keeps my family together and grounded. Please, preserve those opportunities for me and for all the people I am connected to.
