The Daily Kos has created a web page, Write and send an email to the FCC: Create real net neutrality rules, to facilitate your sending a message to the FCC.

Two months ago, because of enormous amounts of grassroots activism opposed to FCC Chairman Tim Wheeler’s proposal to allow internet “fast lanes,” the Chairman held a small meeting with open internet advocates, including Daily Kos.

In that meeting, Chairman Wheeler made it clear that personal comments from real people, telling real stories about how the end of net neutrality would impact them personally, are the comments he reads and gives the most credence to.

The deadline for comments is July 15, 2014.  If you don’t want to use the web page on The Daily Kos, you can write or email by yourself.

Docket number: 14-28 protecting an open internet

Below is the comment that I sent.

Net neutrality is absolutely essential for the survival of this country.  I am able to read news from a wide variety of sources that only publish on the internet.  These are independent sources of the news that are not focused on promoting corporate interests.

These are the only sources that can check the power of corporations to control our laws and our economy.

If we let corporations decide who gets access and who does not on the internet just as they have managed to do in the print and broadcast media, then any chance of rescuing this nation by non-violent means may be lost.

Does the FCC realize the important balance that they hold in their hands?  You might be able to tell your children  and grandchildren that you were the last bastion, you stood for the people, and you saved the nation.
