  • Save Net Neutrality!
    I use the Internet in my classroom. I teach in a poor rural district that uses free software to attract and keep student attention. The changes proposed by the FCC to create a pay-to-play fast lane of Internet service will hinder my ability to adequately teach my students who rely on the Internet for research and motivation.

  • Equitable Internet access
    As a small business owner, I rely on the Internet for processing our interactions with insurance companies. I also use the Internet, as do my other therapists, to research disorders and support information related to our clients. I am already taxed to death for payroll, business taxes, and in Minnesota, a 2% additional tax on healthcare providers to fund Medicaid. I already pay Comcast for internet connection. I believe having discriminatory Internet access as proposed will be another cost that may drive me out of business in an already stressed business environment.

  • Net Neutrality is Good for Small Businesses
    Our small business is successful. Our books have generated over $100 million in retail sales. We rely on the internet to do the extensive research necessary to succeed. We must have speedy access to every possible source of information, not just those sources that are more profitable for some big business.

  • Net Neutrality
    Internet focused entrepreneurship will be stifled by a high cost barrier to entry on the internet if potential entrepreneurs must pay exorbitant costs to own capable spaces online.

  • Keep The Government From Taking Our Freedom
    This is the open port of communication on a global level that anyone can take advantage of. What they propose is the same as saying you can have free speech only if you can afford it.

  • Preserve Net Neutrality
    I have been a self-employed freelance illustrator, artist, designer since 1997 using the internet to show my work and bid on new projects on a daily basis. With a little bit of work it is possible to discover new avenues, and places where your work is needed. The internet was originally designed to share knowledge, and open avenues of communication. I am against setting it up as a "pay to play" scenario where deep pockets are in control. Please do not pass this bill!
