Stop the FCC from ruining the internet!

Stop Tom Wheeler and the FCC from turning the internet into a place only the wealthy can enjoy. The new regulations allow ATT, Verizon and Comcast to charge a premium for higher speed internet services, preventing teachers, small businesses and non-profits from accessing information. This will prevent future companies like Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter from existing.

Why is this important?

The Internet enriches the lives of my family by providing entertainment, knowledge and the world within a few clicks of a mouse button. Preventing the growth of our society so a few conglomerates can line their pockets is wrong. We need an open, fair and balanced Internet environment. Right now the Internet is a place of balanced access where all Internet services are treated equally. Now Comcast, Verizon and ATT want to change the rules and they've got the newest FCC appointee, Tom Wheeler, about to allow them to relegate websites they don't like to a "slow lane." That would include every non-profit organization, local website and small business site. It will almost certainly prevent any start-up from transforming into a Netflix, Twitter, Facebook or even Google. That doesn't sound smart for consumers or for the US.
