I got this yesterday, and since it's something that will effect us all, and far beyond just political, I feel it's best to post here...
FCC Chair and former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai just announced his plan to dismantle net neutrality. He will give even more power to corporate internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon while raising costs for average consumers.
Millions of Americans support net neutrality. It keeps a level playing field for all who use the internet, making it possible for entrepreneurs, independent journalists, and other content creators to connect with their audience. Without net neutrality, ISPs will be able to throttle internet speeds, block content behind paywalls, and unfairly favor some content over others.
The FCC will vote on net neutrality next month. Tell them to keep net neutrality, not compromise the freedom of the internet for more corporate profits. Add your name to our petition today.
We should be discussing how to expand internet access to more people, not restrict it to those who can afford to pay more. The internet is vital to equal opportunities in education, entrepreneurship, job searching, and even keeping a job once you've been hired. Many of the people living in my district, in rural communities, those on Native American reservations, and in low-income areas across the country do not have high-speed internet. It is our job to ensure that everyone has the access and connectivity they need to thrive in our 21st-century economy.
Sign our petition telling the FCC to keep net neutrality the way that it is. We will not accept another handout to corporate ISPs while we foot the bill.
We cannot do this alone. Mahalo for adding your voice in support of net neutrality today.
Aloha,
Tulsi
