Net Neutrality is essential for our future as innovators and creators. It helps small businesses and entrepreneurs prosper and protects our right to free speech. Without it, we're all silenced and all of the progress we would see in the years to come will be cut down, accessible to only the select few chosen by corporations who care more about money than they do about the general public. 

The internet is an incredible and powerful tool that helps us connect with the rest of the world. Trying to take away net neutrality would be like cutting off that worldwide connection. Educational opportunities, economic opportunities, expressing opinions, the ability to create and share work on a global scale, personal growth -- all of that would be negatively affected if you don't protect net neutrality; we'll definitely be stunting our progress as a country, and as a people. 

A country that is truly free REQUIRES an internet that is truly free.
