As a small internet retail business owner and a citizen of the US, a free and open internet is vital to our democracy and the growth of our nation.  Too many roadblocks have been put in the way for normal Americans to prosper and our daily lives rely on the internet being open, fair and honest for everyone.  When everything from buying presents to paying bills and submitting legal docs and researching for school are performed by every single American every minute of every day, it's a vital tool and needs to be considered a basic right and utility for everyone to use and enjoy equally.  Thank you for your time.
