This week, President Obama came out in favor of a strong Net Neutrality rule, without loopholes, which will keep the internet open and free from restrictions. Verizon, Comcast and other internet service providers want to be able to block content, limit access to certain websites and services, and slow the connection unless they receive a cut from every website and extra money from you, the consumers.

A strong Net Neutrality rule, which I support, will prevent that from happening. The fight is not over though. The FCC, which is an independent agency, will make the final decision.

The FCC’s website to handle filing comments related to Net Neutrality has been overwhelmed with traffic and the submission deadline is being pushed back to July 18th @ midnight.

I thought I’d share the letter I signed on to from the Congressional Progressive Caucus asking the FCC to enact Net Neutrality rules and to protect the open internet.
