Our country has benefitted from the internet in many ways, and Americans have come to depend on an open internet and the crucial open internet principles of transparency, no blocking, no censorship and no discriminatory throttling. But, internet rules should not change each time a new political party takes office or a new person is appointed to lead the Federal Communications Commission. That’s why I am writing to ask that you work together to preserve these crucial internet principles by creating legislation that codifies them into law. The FCC’s action to overturn the current law designed 80 years ago, before the Internet was created, is a great first step. However, legislation is the only way to permanently preserve the open internet principles that we rely on. Thank you for working to keep the internet a place where all citizens can find new opportunities and communicate freely.

There is broad agreement that our nation and our economy needs an open and robust Internet. But, there is a right way and a wrong way to preserve the concept of an open internet. I am in favor of protecting the open internet with legislation that will codify the principles of transparency and no blocking, no censorship and no discriminatory throttling, and apply equally to everyone. Legislation approved by Congress would improve on the heavy-handed regulations the current FCC is looking to overturn that might deny consumers the services they want. So, let’s do an open internet the right way, not the wrong way.

The internet has been one of the greatest drivers of economic growth, job creation and innovation in our lifetimes. Unfortunately, the rules governing how the internet is regulated are largely being decided by whoever is the Chair of the FCC. I agree with the current FCC that the internet should not be regulated under a law created 80 years ago and that it creates uncertainty for internet users and the companies that invest billions of dollars into the internet economy. The FCC’s move to get rid of the rules that unfairly and heavy-handedly enforced these principles is a necessary first step. But, now Congress needs to act so that open internet protections for consumers remain strong and consistent. I am writing today to encourage you to work with other members of Congress to pass bipartisan legislation that would codify the principles of transparency, no blocking, no censorship, and no discriminatory throttling and apply them to all internet companies. This is the best solution to provide the stability and certainty that the internet needs to continue thriving as it has for decades.

While the internet has drastically changed over the years, our internet regulations remain outdated. I agree with the FCC that it doesn’t make sense to apply an 80 year-old regulatory scheme to the internet. The rules governing the Internet should not continually change depending on who is running the FCC. It’s time to put an end to the political back-and-forth. Consumers deserve to have clear and permanent rules to protect them from blocking, censorship and discriminatory throttling from any company. For this reason, I encourage you to work with other members of Congress to find a permanent fix to the issue of an open internet and pass bipartisan legislation that would codify these protections into law and apply to all internet companies. Passing bipartisan legislation is the only way to deliver lasting rules that will not be subject to administrative changes at the FCC and partisan politics.

I am writing to encourage you to work together in support of an open internet— one that is transparent and free from blocking, censorship and discriminatory throttling. After nearly 20 years of FCC commissioners and court rulings wrangling over how the internet is regulated, it is time for Congress to provide clear direction by passing legislation that provides certainty for consumers and internet companies alike. Bipartisan legislation can help end the years-long political back-and-forth around an open internet that creates little more than confusion. Internet users and internet providers deserve clear and permanent rules that ensure the internet remains open and thriving.

I am writing today to urge you to work with your fellow members of Congress and the FCC to permanently preserve an open internet by supporting bipartisan legislation that would turn the principles of transparency, no blocking, no censorship and no discriminatory throttling into law once and for all. It’s vital that our country, and our citizens, have strong and permanent rules to ensure that internet regulation cannot change course depending on which political party is in the White House. Passing bipartisan legislation is a step toward protecting it for years to come.

I am writing in regard to the Commission’s work on preserving an open internet. There is no doubt that the internet has become a crucial part of our economy and way of life. That’s why it’s very important to regulate it in a responsible way. While I support the FCC’s work to get rid of the rules that were harming the internet economy, I believe the only way to permanently guarantee an open internet is by Congress creating a law that all companies must follow that promotes transparency and prevents blocking, censorship and discriminatory throttling. Thank you for your continued work on this very important issue.

I am writing today to encourage you to work together and move quickly on a permanent legislative fix to preserve an open internet that is transparent and free from blocking, censorship and discriminatory throttling. I believe only legislation can ensure we have permanent, enforceable open internet rules that apply equally to everyone and won’t change depending on which party is in power or who is running the FCC. The FCC’s move to make sure the internet isn’t subject to heavy-handed laws created for the rotary phone is the right first step, but only legislation can put this issue beyond politics and ensure that vital consumer protections are stable and secure. After almost two decades of the FCC and the courts arguing this issue—it’s time for Congress to provide permanent and strong open internet protections to consumers and the entire internet community.

No one could reasonably argue that the public would benefit from a more restrictive, less open internet. In this Information Age we live in, the internet is a vital tool that helps individuals, families and entire communities thrive. Unfortunately, like too many other issues in this country, the open internet is compromised when partisan politics and regulatory uncertainty come into play. That’s why a permanent solution to an open internet is needed. I’m writing today to urge you to work with each other to overturn the existing burdensome rules at the FCC and enact lasting legislation that will solidify the core internet freedoms the citizens of the United States deserve. Passing bipartisan legislation is the only way we can truly put this issue beyond politics and ensure that the vital consumer protections of transparency, no blocking, no censoring, and no discriminatory throttling are stable and secure for decades to come. And, codifying these principles into law will give companies the regulatory certainty we need to continue investing, innovating and delivering the new technologies and services that we want.
