DADDY-BROUGHT-TO-ME-BY-AT&T, WHAT DID YOU DO?

From the days when a brash young nation revolted over not having a say in how their taxes were spent -- to the dismantling of monopolies during the early 20th century -- from the creation of labor unions -- to our continued fight today to support a free internet, Americans have always wanted the voices of truth to be heard. We have fought and died to protect democracy, the right of every individual to be heard fairly, on an even plane. Today, as news organizations create "duopolies," and we stand choice-less in the wreckage of deregulation, we must fight again to protect the even playing field of the internet. Without this fight, those with the most money (read: Exxon, AT&T, Bank of America, et. al.) will control the voice of the internet, and label as truth what they will. Those who would sacrifice this bold new form of democratic expression think only of the short-term profit potential. To those, I say, "Careful what you wish for. Putting yourself at the top of search lists will provide consumers a clear and useful list of companies to avoid. You saw what the internet did for Obama." When this fight is done, I do not want to hear my daughter ask me, "When the corporate powers killed the truth, what did you do?" And when she has to decide what's best for her children, and what best to protect our democracy, I don't want her choices to come only from those with the most money. Protect Net Neutrality. It's right to do.
