Net Neutrality: We should all be worried
The Internet is the last frontier Americans have to get real, unfiltered news. So, of course, the mega-media companies want to take this away, and to make money off of it even more than they already are though selling us access as Internet Service Providers.
Everyone should be worried about Net Neutrality, and the consequences for its potential and likely demise. I urge all of you to write your members of Congress and also the Federal Communications Commission and demand that Net Neutrality be put into law. If you are unaware of who your members of Congress are, you're in the right place. On the left-hand column, about 1/3 of the way down, is a tool that will help you quickly locate contact information for your Congressional Representative and Senators.
Your members of Congress must hear from you to so that Congress is forced to put this ultra-important practice into law. Please spread the word to others as well. Later on this evening, I will be writing all of my Congressional members about this vitally important issue, so feel free to take my verbiage and use it as your own when writing Congress.
If you're unfamiliar with what Net Neutrality is, this is a pretty good video that breaks it down into an easily understandable explanation.

I think there's a lot more to the issue than what is in that video. The FTC just recently reviewed net neutrality and they did not say that creating government regulations was best way to go. It usually isn't a good idea to have Washington create new legislation that is against our interests of free markets and from what I've seen, I do some work with handsoff.org, new regulations on this matter are not in our interest either. Additionally, this isn't a new issue that Congress isn't aware of either - they've all been briefed on it, but I do agree that it is an issue that we should all be aware of and pay attention to.
