My name is Lucas Carter. I am not a bot, I am a person who lives in Maryland and I have a voice. My voice and my views are that Net Neutrality is important. For many people. If the FCC really stands for the wishes of the American People, you should listen to us. A huge majority of people stand for net neutrality. By rolling back net neutrality laws, you are essentially turning the internet into a fascist order dictated by greedy companies with corporate agendas. Think about the people. That college student who is barely able to pay their tuition, using internet resources to start an online business to help get them through college or using other online sources to study. Think about that LGBT teenager who uses Social Media to feel better about themselves and realize they arent alone. Think about those who are suicidal who use a free and neutral environment to escape the voices in their head. Think about the people, not just the greedy corporations that only care about money. I use Tumblr, Wattpad, Youtube and Instagram alot. Tumblr helps me realize I’m not alone and there are tons of people who go through that I go through. Wattpad is where I practice writing. Its my dream to be an author. Youtube is where i can laugh, escape from the horrible things I go through. And Instagram is how i talk to my friends all around the world and get to laugh at their pictures and the things they get to do. For example one of my friends just went skydiving for the first time. They streamed it on Instagram and it felt like I was with them, even though I was in my bed. Thats what the internet means to me. So, I’ve said what I need to say. I play chess alot, and in chess we have a phrase. Im gonna use that phrase now. You’ve heard the voices of the people...its your move.
Thats my letter. You can’t steal mine or they’ll ignore it. Lets show them that in this country, the people are the ones you should fear, not the corrupt corporations who seek to undermine our basic human rights.
