Ben Sasse: End the War on Net Neutrality

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

It's time to end the war on net neutrality and represent your constituents, not campaign donors.

Why is this important?

FCC Chairman Wheeler has announced that the FCC will preserve a free and open Internet by classifying it as a utility. This will keep the World Wide Web free from corporate manipulation and protect access for all.

In response, Senator Sasse has started a petition to end net neutrality.

Sasse has received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from telecommunications companies and internet service providers. Now they want something from him: bringing an end to net neutrality so they can charge users more for what they use.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
1. A free and open internet is the single greatest technology of our time, and control should not be at the mercy of corporations.
2. A free and open internet stimulates ISP competition.
3. A free and open internet helps prevent unfair pricing practices.
4. A free and open internet promotes innovation.
5. A free and open internet promotes the spread of ideas.
6. A free and open internet drives entrepreneurship.
7. A free and open internet protects free speech.

Classifying the internet as a utility will promote competition and prevent telecommunication companies from monopolizing the market against start ups and entrepreneurs.
