From my morning news to kids homework and grade checking to communicating with their teachers; to coordinating soccer, piano and swim lessons; to shopping for grocery and other family needs from home to avoid traffic and lines and to save gas; to providing instant updates to my neighbors about safety issues and to communicate with my mayor's office about local issues - all of these will be impacted if I have to start paying to perform my daily functions. Please do not allow them to take away this right and freedom to live life without obstacles from us. Read More: 1.

An open, free, equal access internet has indelibly changed my life for the better!

I connect with patients in rural areas through the Internet to provide counseling and services that are not available in some remote areas. Not having appropriate access to the Internet will affect these communities a great deal.

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.

I am suffering from Stage 5 kidney failure. No one has the right to poison our water when fluoride is a known neurotoxin which can cause ill health, brain damage, and kidney failure.

Pay-to-play Internet makes it harder for startups to start. It adds extra overhead to businesses. It is bad for the general public because it slows the flow of information.

I am Development Director of a nonprofit that leads our community in social change needed to end domestic violence, rape, sexual assault and related human trafficking. 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.

We are concerned about the world we will leave to our children and the way we are educating them.

The Times documented that the County's Homeless paid millions of dollars for years to house the homeless in crime-ridden slums. The refrain of the county is the county should be run as a business. When a business pays for a service that they do not receive , the business takes steps to obtain a refund. It is time that the county commission takes steps to obtain refunds of our tax money that was wasted on substandard housing/service.

I communicate with business associates in the US and worldwide via Internet connections to include Skype and GotoMeeting. Without it, some connections would not be possible and costs would be prohibitive.

I am currently in touch through the internet with communities such as Palo Alto, CA, who are making great strides to go carbon free in their energy use. Here in Boone, North Carolina, we are soon to launch on a campaign to drastically reduce our Town's carbon footprint and in so doing do our part to keep ours a livable world. Professor Emeritus, Dr. Harvard Ayers, Appalachian State University.

It is important for me to stay on task with studies online. Especially when I take my quizzes. Please do not do this to American students like me. Let our rights stay intact for internet freedom.
