We must protect Net Neutrality
Net Neutrality: the idea that Internet users should be able to access any web content they want, post their own content, and use any applications they choose, without any kind of restrictions or limitations.
This is something I can I firmly believe in.
The reason why the issue of Net Neutrality is such a big deal now is because it’s not only the future, but it is essentially the way we live and do business now!
If these big telephone companies take over content on the world wide web it would severely restrict the free exchange of ideas and commerce that has built so much wealth, freedom of expression, and allowed so many millions of people all over the world to connect in an unresteriected manner.
It would put millions out of a job, hard-working people such as my father.
Common Cause totally supports Net Neutrality. They believe the reason why this democratic medium has grown exponentially is becuase of Net Neutrality. It has forever altered the way we communicate and the way we market ourselves.
Like Latin IT marketing, the business my father is getting off the ground. He uses an interesting combination of free social networking tools such as WordPress, Twitter and LinkedIn. If these telecom giants lurking the halls of Congress and the FCC take over the internet it would leave people like my dad out in the cold.

Good points Nando. Additionally, it’s not just small businesses that will lose their jobs, but whole industries, the freedome and wealth that has been created because of the freedom of the Internet, and finally, the principles of freedom of speech itself. These principles are part of the essential make-up of this country.
