• Ben Franklin's Equal Internet
    All of my design clients are local companies, unique to the nation due to the fact that the Portland, Oregon, area is an innovation leader in technology, art, food, music, cycling, extreme sports, and many other markets. Freedom of speech and expression drives America. Ben Franklin's printing press would now be a web page, where there is freedom and equality for all. Let's keep it that way.

We struggle to raise money to improve our internet, and an internet based upon wealth will hurt us. Kindly do not let corporate greed infect this most precious resource.

  • Representative Clark: Stand Up for Net Neutrality
    Net Neutrality is an issue that matters deeply to Massachusetts. We are a state full of colleges and tech start-ups, and we rely on the internet for so much of what we do. Allowing ISPs to set up "fast lanes" for big businesses threatens the internet as a whole, but especially our small businesses just starting out. Gutting Net Neutrality is bad for culture, bad for the future, and bad for job creation in our state.

  • Preserve Net Neutrality
    I am an avid online gamer and the proud parent of a three-year-old. He loves the games, songs and learning fun he gets from a free and open Internet. Stratifying the Internet spells doom for this essential modern utility.

  • Save the Open Internet
    I've been using the internet since 1994, and have always appreciated how versatile and robust it is precisely because of how it was designed to be open and accessible in equal measures to everyone. My occupation for the last few years is directly linked to the Internet, given that I monitor and administer wifi Internet networks for several low-income housing developments. As a result, it is especially important to me as well as to the residents with whom I work that the Internet continue to be fairly maintained without "pay-to-play" schemes and undue influence from telecommunications companies.

  • Net Neutrality is critical for the dissemination of local news and information
    Cambridge Community Television provides hyper local news and information to our community - through our cable channels and also our websites. If CCTV is relegated to the "slow lane," it will throttle this local, First Amendment forum.

  • Maintain Website Neutrality
    An open internet is CRITICAL to the financial well-being of myself and my young son!! I run two small businesses and most of my clients have found me through the internet. I do not have the funding to spend on putting myself in a "fast track" system!

  • Stop the internet from becoming "Pay-to-Play".
    I made this petition because I have websites that I commonly go to that allow me to show what I do. These include a few Wikis and DeviantArt. However, there are many more. Besides, I have little money; it's hard enough to pay for shit already, but what Comcast and Verizon plan to do gives me regrettable ideas. All I ask is that many stand beside me and millions of others to save the internet; we're all in this together.

  • Net Neutrality
    My daughter is my story. Currently she works full time, and without access to the internet this would not have been possible. I believe without everyone having total access to the internet, it will change individual ability to access jobs! The internet creates and open doors to jobs; DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY!

  • Young symphony conductors need the web to survive
    I am an international professional symphony and opera conductor. I also teach conducting to hundreds of developing young conductors. We attract students to our program in Romania at www.rconductors.com. Because of our relatively low advertising budget, our website is our main means of informing and attracting students. If we were placed in a slow track, our program might easily fail because of lack of exposure.

  • KWT Believes in Net Neutrality
    As a moderator of a local neighborhood list serve, and a research librarian, I believe that access to the internet should remain equal and free from restrictions. Net neutrality is the assurance that access to the Web and its content will not be blocked, slowed down, or sped up depending on where that access is based or who owns the access point. Net neutrality is a fundamental democratic principal and as local list serves have shown, is the new town square for community discussions.
