I don’t usually do this sort of thing on this website because this isn’t a political platform, this site is about solid information and research. But, because telecom companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T want to privatize the internet, regulate what you see, what you read, and where you go–I feel obligated to tell you that informational sites like this one, run by little people like me, might be in jeopardy if these big telecom companies get their way. The issue is called Net Neutrality, and basically it’s about big telecom companies (TV and Internet) being able to restrict your access to, say, Google because they’ve signed an exclusive contract with Yahoo–or the other way around, depending on who you have service through. Do you want telecom companies charging you more for restricted access, dependent upon what they want you to see? It happened with network television, which is why FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are the only big players left in news and punditry. It can happen again with the internet.

There’s a website you can visit if you want to learn more about how you can save the internet. Your congressional representatives don’t think this is an issue. Make it one.
