Aaaah, that is the question.

Whether ’tis nobler to stick with democratic “net neutrality” in the United States or go the way of the Communist Red Chinese with their “net monopolism”, must give us pause?

In fact, some of our nation’s telecom companies have already proven they haven’t any problem with Communist China’s “net monopolism,” haven’t they?

Thus, I am a NetPatriot, unlike all the NetTraitors out to turn our “neutral” internet into one like the Communist Chinese have.

Vote American. Vote “net neutral.”

I don’t know enough about “net neutrality†to have an opinion, other than that Telco regulation is incredibly complicated.

How anyone could construe that as opposition is beyond me.

This is definitely a matter of getting the word out and making it so everyone can understand. I don’t even care if we are working on the same side of G*n Own*rs of America. I think it is about freedom of speech. This member of the choir already hit the keyboard sotospeak.</p> My two cents.

I said don’t mess with the net. Cole’s person said her boss agreed with me. Putnam’s person wasn’t interested cause I’m not from his state. Now, it seems to me that this is a national issue & will affect us all and I am sure I can send some money to his opponent when he wants to reup. Isn’t Putnam a cousin to the lovely Katherine Harris or am I wrong?</p> I used mcjoan’s list from kos net neutrality diary & made calls to about 3/4. I said don’t mess with the net.
