On the recordNovember 29, 2017
In a year where we are dealing with healthcare, immigration, and, yes, taxes, I am very pleased by the volume of mail that I have gotten from my constituents on all of those issues. But I have to tell you the one issue that my constituents have contacted me most on is net neutrality. I hear from young people and college students, many who have been calling for the first time about wanting an internet that is free from the meddling of a few large internet providers. As we know, the internet is perhaps one of the most important advances of our time. It is a tool that allows citizens to connect from all over the country and even the world and improves the quality of life. From elementary to graduate level students, all would be affected if the title II regulations were changed. From the student finishing homework to military families keeping in touch, we need a free and open internet. So why attack an institution that benefits millions for the gain of a few big cable companies? Please join me in contacting the FCC to tell them net neutrality matters to our constituents and it certainly matters to all of us. ____________________
