Net Neutrality

You must stand up against Net Neutrality. The internet does not need to be controlled by the Federal government. We were not given televisions or radios when those came out. No one gave me a VCR or DVD player. I had to wait until DVD was popular before I got a VCR. I had to wait until CD's were popular before I got a cassette player. It didn't hurt me any to wait until prices came down and I could afford those luxuries. I typed my high school papers on an actual typewriter and then a word processor. (I'm only 29 years old). I didn't even get my first email address until college. I didn't get my first computer until 2001, my third year of college. I now regularly do work in Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. I've worked in graphic design and can type around 70 words a minute. I know how to create websites. Even without a computer in my home growing up, I wrote and published a book, graduated from college with a BA in English and have excelled in many different vocations and aspects of my life. No one gave me anything. I worked hard and succeeded on my own. Many years ago, President Kennedy said, "As not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I say instead, ask what you you can do for yourself.
Please stand up and protect free speech and our free market society. Profit is not evil. Success is not a crime. Failure is inevitable and neccessary. You must stop net neutrality. Thank you for your time.
Covington , LA
