CHeck out this letter below and call or email the FCC and make your voice heard again one more time before Thursday and it will be too late.

Here is a reblog of the original blog..It is very important to make calls to protect our internet free speech!

Americans for Prosperity - In case you missed it, video from Phil Kerpen and Glenn Beck discussing Net Neutrality can be seen here: http://bit.ly/2fFZSI

Posted below is an email from Phil Kerpen the Director of Policy at Americans for Prosperity. He details the current info on the "Net Neutrality" vote this Thursday. Please flood this FCC website with your comments: www.OpenInternet.gov The left is hitting it hard.... we need every PATRIOT to do the same... please share this message!!


"The net neutrality movement is an outgrowth of the larger so-called media reform project of radical left-wing activists like Robert McChesney who seek to destroy private control of the country's communications systems.

I discussed McChesney and the so-called media reform movement last night on the Glenn Beck show, and you can watch that clip here. I'll be on with Glenn again tonight to discuss net neutrality specifically.

As the Internet Freedom Coalition shows on our Net Neutrality Scare Ticket it has now been nearly 7 years since the November 19, 2002 letter that started the net neutrality scare, without a single significant incident of the kind of egregious behavior by evil phone and cable companies we're told require government intervention. It's a solution in search of a problem.

Net neutrality sounds simple--force phone and cable companies to treat every bit of information the same way--until you realize that modern networks are incredibly complex, with millions of lines of code in every router. Making sure services like VoIP, video conferencing, and telemedicine (not to mention the next great thing that hasn't been invented yet) get priority may be necessary to make the Internet work. But the government is working to do just the opposite.

These networks cost billions of dollars to build and maintain, and if there is uncertainty whether there will be a good return on that investment, private investment will dry up. And then government will step in, spending billions of our tax dollars on a government-owned and controlled Internet.

That's their plan.

The push for a Washington takeover of the Internet is coming from the White House. It includes Susan Crawford, the so-called Internet Czar, who told The Wall Street Journal in April that the $7.2 billion of stimulus money for broadband she is helping spend is a "down payment on future government investments in the Internet." She went on to say: "We should do a better job as a nation of making sure fast, affordable broadband is as ubiquitous as electricity, water, snail mail or any other public utility."

It comes right from the top. President Obama himself said on the campaign trail: "I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to Net Neutrality."

The FCC will vote Thursday on what it calls a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Net Neutrality. If it passes, it will start a public comment period and I'll be emailing you again with instructions on how to file comments. But for the next couple days, we need to make our case against the FCC even taking that first step down the road to a Washington takeover of the Internet.

Here's what you can do to help: The FCC created a website at www.OpenInternet.gov where you can comment on government regulating the Internet under so-called net neutrality rules. The left has been flooding it with comments. Please take a moment to head over to www.OpenInternet.gov and click on "Join the Discussion" to make your voice heard for keeping the Internet in private hands

Thanks for all you do.

Mary: Just so you know, the left has supported net neutrality from the beginning.

Mary - this will be the dumbing down of the internet (looks like many of the users already have been dumbed down). This is just another case of "if I can't have it neither can anybody else". So, instead of some people and apps getting exceptional service, it will result in absolutely mediocre service for everyone.

The internet is a privately funded enterprise, and yes, it is critical. However, so are toll roads and bridges. And, the government does allow people to charge others for faster lane usage.

I think once the general public learns a bit more about net neutrality, they will realize what it means to their internet experience.  That will cause thousands of phone calls to their representatives and the net will be left just as it is now.

Here's a cause the left and right both agree on!
