It's not that often that MoveOn and the Gun Owners of America agree on anything. So last night when I was watching Bill Moyers discussing Net Neutrality on PBS it was a bit unnatural to see them both in agreement. Fortunately it was on the issue of Net Neutrality. Currently nearly all the Democratic legislature supports net neutrality and nearly all of the republican legislature opposes it. Please keep in mind that currently about 60-80% of all content on the internet is supplied by individuals or small groups, like this site.
When internet neutrality is lost not only will a few large companies decide who gets to see what dependent upon what they are will to pay... but they can also block sites that they may find in opposition to their political beliefs or business... such as the GOA's site, moveOn, or this site. As most of you are aware the majority of Americans support some form of gun control... with net neutrality gone it will be majority/money rules on the net.
The argument from those that support losing net neutrality is that "someone needs to pay for the pipes"... let me ask you a couple simple questions...
1.) do you not alreay pay for your internet service ("the pipes") whether it's phone charges or hispeed charges?
2.) Do you support net neutrality?
3.) have you told your legislater?
