  • Keep Corporate Greed from Controlling the Internet
    I am involved in a lot of projects, the intent of which is to improve jail and prison conditions, as well as providing some post-release programs. I depend heavily on the internet for research, writing and sharing my articles and communication with other people and organizations with similar goals. I live in Lake County, sparsely populated and relatively isolated from surrounding counties.

  • 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.

  • Government, Don't slow down my favorite website speed!
    Making "slow" lanes on the internet is what is really happening here, Verizon and Comcast / Time Warner want to increase profits and wreck the internet. Different speeds of delivery will be have a negative impact on our functional benefits and enjoyment of the web. It will definitely cause a chilling effect on free speech. The Leaders of Congress and the FCC must strongly oppose companies who want to make fast and slow lanes on the internet.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SAVE Net Nuetality
    It's as simple as this. As a curious individual, I find having a search engine at my disposal for finding a location of an address, having a question answered or even simply how to spell a word is indispensable for me. It would sorely piss me off if I had to pay for the "free" service in the future.

  • 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.
