Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
The initial comment period will close Tuesday, July 15, on a
proposed FCC rule to kill net neutrality by allowing broadband
providers to charge web sites for distributing their content at a
reasonable speed.[*] <br>
<br>
<br>
If you are concerned about this, please take the time (if you
haven't already) to add your name to the list of opponents of the
new rule, as described on <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://www.accessnow.org/page/m/3717ced5/13a5a418/704f5363/1de21aeb/1327322874/VEsC/">"https://www.accessnow.org/page/m/3717ced5/13a5a418/704f5363/1de21aeb/1327322874/VEsC/"</a>.
Use their form to send an email using either their canned message or
one you compose. My version appears below. <br>

I believe this is a threat to democracy, to world peace, and
to the prosperity of the bottom 99 percent. The mainstream
commercial media has all but eliminated investigative journalism
from television: It threatens the ability of their advertisers to
get favors from government, increasing the wealth of those with
power while impoverishing everyone else. It is now known that
Saddam Hussein did NOT have weapons of mass destruction in 2003, and
the media fired journalists and television personalities to prevent
the public from hearing from those claiming he didn't. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>

p.s. I recently uploaded a 60-second video to YouTube asked we
"Restrict secrecy more than data collection" (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

It mentions a blog at "sanjosepeace.wordpress.com", which I am
currently revising. Please let me know if you'd like to review my
draft before I publish it. <br>
<br>
<br>
MY EMAIL TO THE FCC <br>
<br>
<br>
Please support net neutrality. Broadband is a telecommunications
service. However, I've heard that a proposed FCC rule would deny
that for the purposes of Title II of the Telecommunications Act. <br>
<br>
A vote against net neutrality is a vote against democracy and for
the ability of the mainstream media to stampede the public into war
on fraudulent grounds, as occurred with the US invasion of Iraq in
2003 and support further increases in inequality of income and
wealth. Thomas Piketty says this will further destabilize the
international political economy. I believe he is correct. <br>
<br>
Please support democracy and world peace by supporting net
neutrality. <br>

<p> Spencer,</p>
<p> Over the past few months, HBO host John Oliver,
hundreds of tech companies, and millions of people like
you have come out strong in support of Net Neutrality -
the principle protecting free speech online. <strong>But
right now the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
is considering new rules that could kill Net
Neutrality.</strong> We need your voice to join the
chorus telling the FCC to stand up for users and to pass
strong rules that actually protect the open internet!</p>
<p> <a moz-do-not-send="true"

title="https://www.accessnow.org/page/speakout/fcc-protect-net-neutrality?js=false"><strong>Tell
Chairman Tom Wheeler to end network discrimination
by reclassifying broadband as a telecommunications
service and enforcing real Net Neutrality rules in
the United States.</strong></a></p>
<p> Earlier this year, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler introduced
a plan that would allow internet service providers to
set up internet “fast lanes” for those who could afford
them, and “slow lanes” for everyone else.</p>
<p> Not surprisingly, these rules caused a fast and
furious public outcry. If it passes these rules, the FCC
would give companies like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon
the green light to crush the founding principles of the
open internet. That’s why we at Access — and millions of
others — are fighting back. Only by reclassifying
broadband as a “telecommunications service” can the FCC
truly protect our rights online.</p>

<p> On July 15, the FCC will close the first public
comment period on its proposed rules. Access and other
partners have already flooded the FCC with calls,
emails, and tweets demanding the FCC protect the open
internet. Now it’s time to for you to make your voice
heard by posting a comment — we'll deliver it straight
to the FCC.</p>
<p> <strong>Don’t let Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and
others slow you down. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p> Lets stop network discrimination in its tracks. Tell

Neutrality.</p>
