Net Neutrality
Congress has quietly been planning to hand control of the internet over to the Telcom industry. The giants, like AT&T and Verizon would be handed control of the internet, allowing them to decide what sites you could visit, cutting out your freedom of access to any article, news, site, or communication that you might normally choose. This amounts to nothing more than taking away the truly merit-based internet and replacing it with CORPORATE CONTROL. It would be like Cable TV... you'd have no choice about which sites to view, you'd be given a set number. AT&T might not like you going to Amazon, or Verizon might not want you to go to any site that has an article critiquing it. It would be the death of the internet as be know it.
Fight back, contact you congressperson and tell them you support "net neutrality."
