Hey so I got this letter from my states representative Barbara Comstock and it is thanking me for contacting her and saying hey don't vote for the net neutrality repeal. Now this letter to be perfectly clear is just straight up bull shit and an insult to my intelligence which I know isn't something I overflow with but still. I knew this letter was bull as soon as I read the line " I am committed to ensuring the internet remains a level playing field.". I pretty much get told this sob story about how the poor internet providers (specifically the "small" ones) are losing so much money the way things are now and that they can't afford the resources to improve the infrastructure of the internet. Now this blatant bull shit annoyed me but what pisses me completely off is that this so called "representative of the people" claims that rural and low income areas have been hurt by how the internet is run now and would benefit more from the repeal. I don't know how she can say that they need internet to develope and thrive and then go on to defend it knowing full well that if repealed most of these people probably won't be able to afford internet after it all. So if your in the northern Virginia area like me please give her a call and continuously express your disagreement with her decision to repeal net neutrality which while not directly stated is pretty obvious to see from this letter.
