Here is the email I sent to the FCC! If they receive an influx of original personal pleas, they'll be more apt to stand up for us!
(Mine refers superficially to USA, because when I wrote it, that's what came out, but I'm very concerned about the worldwide impact as well.)
FCC,
With the income divide widening with each passing year, it is more important than ever that we protect and maintain equal access across the board regarding the internet. If net neutrality dies, the climb out of poverty for a growing percentage of Americans will be that much more formidable. This is unacceptable. Those who have the money and can pay to fight to stay on top, gorging themselves with assistance of what has been equal access to the internet and then turn around and attempt to take access away from others, furthering our fall into a class hierarchy – they are unconscionably in the wrong!
Do the right thing! Be the change! Act for humanity and continuing equal access to all internet users! I implore you.
A concerned citizen and member of the USA,
