Dear Senator McCain,

In my opinion, your net neutrality bill is very, very harmful to US citizens, and very very beneficial to the rich, and corporations.

My name is William Harris, and I am a United States citizen from Nevada. I’m contacting you about your recently proposed bill that would block the FCC from enforcing “net neutrality.” I want you to know that I disagree with your bill, because the concept of net neutrality will actually help to defend my 1st amendment rights as an American.

What net neutrality does is guarantee to me that I will never be silenced or slowed down by people or companies who have more money than me.  I am tired of people with more money than me claiming that because they have more money than I do, they are more worthy.  They are not more worthy.

Bandwidth costs consistently go down year after year, and ISPs do not need to charge more from the site owners, if they want more money they can raise their monthly fees.  This is a burden that we will all share as a people should they decide it is necessary in order to protect the Internet and content delivery in general.  Thus far, it has not been necessary, because bandwidth prices are not increasing!

I was puzzled by your opposition to something as American as free speech as you have always been someone who seems to support such things, but I was not at all surprised by a report I read on America Online’s service “Daily Finance,” which states:

“McCain, who introduced the bill to undermine the new rules, has received some $894,379 in contributions from AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and other broadband interests over his career, many of those dollars directed to his 2008 presidential campaign, according to the Sunlight Foundation.”

I hope you will rescind your bill and put American citizens before your own private interests. It is far past the time that politicians accept campaign contributions and later proceed to do terrible things as a means to repay favors to those donors.  This is one of those terrible things, and because of a neutral Internet I am able to know what you’re doing.  Given your bill, ISPs could easily “manage” this dissenting opinion and we as a people would have no recourse.  This is UNACCEPTABLE for them to hold this power.

Sincerely,

William Harris
